AnswerBlood pressure is defined by two measurements of pressure, called systolic and diastolic, which are commonly written as s / d; for example 130/85. There is no international consensus about what constitutes the normal range for blood pressures, although most concern is about abnormally high blood pressure, as this is linked to a number of serious illnesses. In general it is more worrying if the diastolic pressure is elevated. Acceptable levels for the diagnosis of hypertension would be 170 for systolic and 95 for diastolic pressures. At the lower end, a systolic pressure above 100 and a diastolic above 50 would be acceptable, so giving the normal range 100/50 - 169/94.[The units for these pressure measurements are mmHg, or millimetres of mercury: traditional sphygmomanometers (the device for measuring blood pressure) had a column of mercury in a glass tube which gave the pressure readings.]AnswerThe general aim of most doctors is for a reading of 120/80: a systolic of around 120 and a diastolic of approx 80. Some are even happier with a reading of around 110/70; but much less than that can also carry its own problems: so these are considered 'optimum readings'.As to which is the more important - systolic or diastolic, opinion has proven divided over recent decades.The current trend is that the systolic is of more concern to 'high' blood pressure. This concern is at a reading of around 165 to 170. Diastolic becomes of concern also at around 90 or 95.As one's blood pressure is expected to increase somewhat with age, it is of more concern that a 30 year-old has a systolic reading of 150 than for a 55 year-old to show that reading.Likewise, a reading of 90 [diastolic] can be quite concerning in a 30 year-old.The AMA states "normal blood pressure is less that 120 / less than 80"
The upper limit for normal systolic pressure in kids aged three to five will range from 104 to 116, depending on height and gender. The upper limit for diastolic pressure will range from 63 to 74
Being a student nurse I am learning these things daily. A normal bloodpressure for an adult, as yourself is 120-130 for the systolic, or top number and 70-80 for the diastolic, or bottom number (120/80 is the normal). There can be fluctuations of these numbers. A athletic person usually has a lower diastolic and as you age your systolic rises.
A systolic blood pressure of 106 and a diastolic blood pressure of 92 in an 80-year-old male may be considered slightly high. It is important to monitor blood pressure regularly and consult a healthcare provider for personalized evaluation and guidance.
Normal blood pressure at birth is determined by the birth weight of the baby. kids born under 750g is 34-54 systolic / 14-34 diastolic. Kids born at 1000g should be 39-59 systolic/ 16-36 diastolic. kids born at 1500g should be 40-61 systolic/19-39diastolic. kids born at 3kg should be 50-70 systolic/ 25-45 diastolic.
there is no constant value for blood pressure but the range is: systolic 90-120 mmHg and diastolic 60-80 mmHg
No. quit henpecking
Normal blood pressure for an 18-year-old male is typically around 120/80 mmHg. However, blood pressure can vary between individuals, so it's important to consult with a healthcare provider for a personalized assessment.
Same as everyone else. 120/80 . or find it by this equation age+100=diastolic pressure and systolic pressure should be the same as normal person
Systolic 120 mm Hg; diastolic 80 mm Hg or more commonly, 120/80
Systolic pressure (The top number) represents the pressure created during contraction of the left ventricle. Diastolic pressure (The bottom number) represents the pressure within the vascular system while the heart is at rest. Typical blood pressure range for an adult is: 110 to 140 (systolic) over 60 to 80 (diastolic)
For any adult an ideal BP is 120/80. Your systolic is the first number and it can range in numbers but the normal range is about 100-130. Your diastolic is the second number and also can range in numbers as well but the normal range is about 60-100.
