Blood pressure changes with age, height, and health status, especially in children. For adults, it stays mostly in a standard range.

Here’s a simple, practical guide to normal blood pressure by age group:

🩺 Normal Blood Pressure by Age

👶 Newborns (0–1 month)

• Normal: ~60–90 / 20–60 mmHg
• Very low compared to adults (heart and vessels still developing)

🧒 Infants (1 month–1 year)

• Normal: ~80–100 / 50–65 mmHg

🧒 Children (1–5 years)

• Normal: ~95–105 / 55–70 mmHg

🧑 Children (6–13 years)

• Normal: ~100–120 / 60–80 mmHg
• Starts approaching adult range

🧑‍🎓 Teenagers (13–18 years)

• Normal: ~110–130 / 65–85 mmHg
• Similar to adults depending on body size

🧑 Adults (18–59 years)

• Normal:
  👉 Less than 120 / 80 mmHg
• Elevated: 120–129 / <80
• High BP (Stage 1): 130–139 / 80–89
• High BP (Stage 2): ≥140 / ≥90

👴 Older Adults (60+ years)

• Often slightly higher is seen:
  • Normal target: still <130–80 mmHg (ideal)
  • Some may have: 130–139 systolic due to artery stiffness

⚠️ Important Notes

• “Normal” varies with height, weight, stress, and medical conditions
• One reading is not enough—BP should be checked multiple times
• Consistently high BP increases risk of:
  • kidney damage
  • heart disease
  • stroke

👍 Ideal Adult Target (simple rule)

👉 Best healthy range for most adults:
110–120 / 70–80 mmHg
