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):

Blood - Sugar Chart



Important Facts About Blood Sugar:

1.Blood sugar (glucose)- main fuel that the body uses to produce energy.
2.Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, helps maintain normal blood sugar levels.
3.Uncontrolled or high blood sugar levels can lead to health complications such as blindness, heart diseases, kidney disease.
4.Increase in concentration of glucose in the blood leads to a condition called "diabetic coma" or hyperglycemia.
