What is the normal blood pressure for an 8 year old child?

Answer 1

To calculate this, you must know your child's height centile. This can be obtained from charts available on the internet or from your local family doctor. Contact me privately if you wish to have this centile calculated.

You must then use this table to calculate the average blood pressure for your child.

If you look on the left hand side, where it says BP percentile, the 50th percentile is what 50 out of 100 children will have as their BP, 95 is the top 5 highest out of 100 children etc.

Answer 2

A normal BP for the average adult should be 120/80 where as a child's will be slighly lower. I believe it is around 110/70. Here are normal vitals for a 10 year old. 7 Year old is very very close.

Age: 10 years

Respiratory rate: 15-23

HR awake: 70-110

HR sleeping: 60-90

Systolic BP: 102-117

Diastolic BP: 62-75

Answer 3

A child's blood pressure runs lower than that of an adult. On average, the blood pressure for an 8 year old child is 90/60 with variations in either direction.

Answer 4

Blood pressure norms in children are based on height and age.
