Blood Pressure Chart

Given below is an age wise average blood pressure range. Slightly lower numbers will indicate optimal blood pressure by age:

• Age 15-19 - 117/77 mm/Hg
• Age 20-24 - 120/79 mm/Hg
• Age 25-29 - 121/80 mm/Hg
• Age 30-34 - 122/81 mm/Hg
• Age 35-39 - 123/82 mm/Hg
• Age 40-44 - 125/83 mm/Hg
• Age 45-49 - 127/84 mm/Hg
• Age 50-54 - 129/85 mm/Hg
• Age 55-59 - 131/86 mm/Hg
• Age 60-64 - 134/87 mm/Hg

Another chart below outlines the new blood pressure categories and the corresponding pressures in mm Hg (mercury):
