Here’s a clear breakdown of normal blood pressure values according to age, based on standard medical guidelines (systolic/diastolic in mmHg). Keep in mind that individual targets may vary depending on health conditions, medications, or a doctor’s advice.
🩺 Normal Blood Pressure by Age
| Age Group | Normal Systolic (mmHg) | Normal Diastolic (mmHg) |
|---|---|---|
| Children (1–5 yrs) | 80–110 | 50–80 |
| Children (6–13 yrs) | 85–120 | 55–80 |
| Teenagers (14–19 yrs) | 95–135 | 60–85 |
| Adults (20–39 yrs) | 95–129 | 60–84 |

| Older Adults (60+ yrs) | 110–150 | 65–90 |
Key Notes
-
Optimal blood pressure for most adults: ~120/80 mmHg
-
Prehypertension / elevated BP: 120–129 / <80 mmHg
-
Hypertension (high BP) stage 1: 130–139 / 80–89 mmHg
-
Hypertension stage 2: ≥140 / ≥90 mmHg
Tips for Maintaining Healthy Blood Pressure

Eat a balanced diet (low salt, high potassium)
-
Stay physically active
-
Maintain a healthy weight
-
Limit alcohol and tobacco
-
Monitor BP regularly, especially if you’re over 40 or have risk factors
If you want, I can make a visual age-based blood pressure chart you can print or save for quick reference. It’s easier to track than tables.
