This table above shows ranges for normal blood pressure for men over 50 years of age. It is clear from the table thatblood pressure rises after the age of 60 yearsand peaks at about 75-89 yearsand gradually reduces thereafter. A lot of debates have surfaced in recent times regardingconside...
In a 2004 publication by Gianfranco Parati and their team in their paper “Blood pressure measurement in research and in clinical practice: recent evidence”, question why kPa can’t be a unit of blood pressure, while mmHg was relevant for mercury sphygmomanometers. The conversion between these ...
When the doctor takes your BP, they measure two numbers. The top number is calledthe systolicand the bottom number are called thediastolic. Anormal blood pressureof 120 over 80. If your numbers are above these, you may have pre-hypertension stage or hypertension depending upon your age. If ...
Normal blood pressure is defined as a systolic BP between 100 and 120 mm Hg and a diastolic BP below 80 mm Hg (in adults over age 18). Prehypertension is present when measured blood pressures are between 120 and 140 mm Hg systolic or between 80 and 90 mm Hg diastolic. When either the...
As the leading cause of death worldwide, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) present major challenges for health systems. In this study, we analyzed the effects of better population blood pressure control in the context of a proposed 80-80-80 target: 80% of i
of a day. Onehigh blood pressurereading does not always indicate that an individual suffers from a disease. A doctor may take readings over time to make an accurate diagnosis. If your first reading is high, you might be asked to relax for a few minutes so a second reading can be taken...

However, if your blood pressure stays high for several hours after you exercise—over 210 mm Hg in assigned males or over 190 mm Hg in assigned females—you could have exercise-induced hypertension (EIH). This is another sign of future hypertension or heart disease.4 ...
7 Consistent with this, in 2010, blood pressure decreased by an average of 0.8 mm Hg (for men) and 1.0 mm Hg (for women) in Australasia and Western Europe over the previous 10 years but increased by up to 2.7 mm Hg over this same period in East and West Africa and South and ...
