emphasized that blood pressure readings in the 130–139/80–89 mm Hg range already carry significantly increased cardiovascular risks and should not be overlooked.

A systolic blood pressure of 120 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of 80 mmHg is considered the normal adult blood pressure, whereas the systolic blood pressure in a neonate is 90–160 mmHg, with a median of 120 mmHg and the diastolic blood pressure is 50–100 mmHg, with a median of 70...
Blood pressure is influenced by gender and age, but the predominant influence of height over age on blood pressure variability, accounting for almost two-fifths of change, has been well demonstrated by the Bogalusa Heart Study.156 At a given age, taller children have higher pressures. This ...
If there are deviations, the systolic and diastolic values are usually either increased or decreased together. However, there can also be a deviation of only one of the two values.3 Table 1: Blood pressure values- reference range:4 AgeSystolic blood pressure (mmHg)Diastolic blood pressure (...
In younger children, the normal range for blood pressure is determined by the child's sex, age, and height. The normal range is expressed as a percentile, similar to charts used to track children's growth. Blood pressure is separated into three categories based upon the child's blood pressu...
Blood pressure (BP) control is a global health issue with an increase in BP beyond the normal BP leading to different stages of hypertension in humans and hence the need to identify risk factors of BP for efficient and effective control. Multiple BP measurement have proven to provide BP readin...

The aim of this work was to determine how weight patterns together with blood glucose, BP and lipids vary at diagnosis of diabetes by age, sex and ethnicity. Methods Using the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink, we identified people with type 2 diabetes (n = 187,601) diagnosed in...
There was no significant difference between the groups with normal and abnormal BP response with respect to recognized SCD risk factors, age, or gender. During a mean follow-up of 44 months, more patients in the group with abnormal response had SCD than in the group with normal response (15...
