A normal blood pressure range is an indication of mental and physical well-being. Scientifically, the measurements of systolic and diastolic values differ according to age and medical conditions.
Go through our detailed discourse to enhance your knowledge on this topic. Keep scrolling to know what the normal blood pressure range is and how you can maintain the same.
Scientifically, blood pressure is the measurement of the force applied by the blood against the artery walls. An uncontrollable rise in BP can harden and scar the arteries. Hence, it is essential to know what the normal blood pressure is age-wise.
Typically, two crucial factors are checked when measuring the pressure in arteries. The first number, or systolic blood pressure, is the measurement of pressure in arteries during the cardiac cycle’s contraction phase. Diastolic blood pressure is the measurement of pressure in arteries during the relaxation phase.
Let us now understand the normal blood pressure range for different age groups in detail.
