Health desk: Blood pressure (BP) is an important indicator that reflects our overall health status. It measures the pressure of blood flow in the body and maintaining its correct level is very important for health. The level of BP is particularly natural for women and men to vary according to age. Come, we understand what should be the ideal level of blood pressure in groups of different ages.
Blood pressure is measured in two figures:
Systolic (upper pressure): When the heart beats and pumps blood into the body.
Diastolic (low pressure): When the blood returns to the heart between heartbeat.
Adarsh blood pressure range: According to age and gender
1. 18-29 years of age
For women: Adarsh blood pressure up to 120/80 mm Hg is considered.
For men: Adarsh blood pressure up to 120/80 mm Hg. In this age, normal BP for men and women is the same, as hormonal changes are still low.
2. 30-39 years old
For women: between 120/80 to 130/85 mm Hg. In this age, conditions like pregnancy, PCOS (PCOS) in women can affect BP.
For men: between 120/80 to 130/85 mm Hg. At this age, stress, diet and lifestyle habits in men start affecting BP.
3. 40-49 years of age
For women: between 125/85 to 135/90 mm Hg. At this age, menopause in women causes hormonal changes, which can affect BP.
For men: 130/85 to 140/90 mm Hg. There is a possibility of increasing blood pressure in men in this age, especially if the lifestyle is not active.
4. 50-59 years of age
For women: 130/85 to 140/90 mm Hg. At this time, the risk of menopause and cardiovascular diseases may increase in women.
For men: 135/85 to 145/90 mm Hg. At this age, men are more at risk of heart diseases, and it is necessary to monitor blood pressure.
5. 60 years and above
For women: 140/90 to 150/90 mm Hg. At this age, the risk of hypertension increases in women, especially when heart and kidney problems begin.
For men: 140/90 to 150/90 mm Hg. Men also have a higher risk of increasing blood pressure at this age, and it can have a serious impact on their health.
