🧒 Children (3–12 years)
-
Systolic: 90–110 mmHg
-
Diastolic: 55–75 mmHg
Blood pressure in children depends on height, age, and gender, so doctors usually compare it with growth charts.
👦 Teenagers (13–18 years)
-
Systolic: 100–120 mmHg
-
Diastolic: 60–80 mmHg
Teen blood pressure begins to approach adult levels during this stage.
👨 Adults (19–40 years)
-
Normal: about 90/60 to 120/80 mmHg
-
Ideal target: around 120/80 mmHg
If readings regularly go above this range, it may indicate Hypertension.
👩🦳 Middle Age (41–60 years)
-
Normal: 110–130 / 70–85 mmHg
Slight increases are common with age due to changes in blood vessels.
👴 Older Adults (60+ years)
