Here’s the blood pressure chart by age and gender based on the “Blood Pressure Chart Per Age & Gender” information published by Baptist Health — including normal averages and what general ranges mean. (Baptist Health)
📊 Blood Pressure Chart by Age & Gender (Baptist Health)
👶 Children & Teens (Typical Ranges)
| Age Group | Systolic (mm Hg) | Diastolic (mm Hg) |
|---|---|---|
| Newborns (up to 1 month) | 60–90 | 20–60 |
| Infants | 87–105 | 53–66 |
| Toddlers | 95–105 | 53–66 |

| School-aged children | 97–112 | 57–71 |
| Adolescents | 112–128 | 66–80 |
| Child ranges change as kids grow — much lower than adult BP. (Baptist Health) |
🧑 Adults by Age & Gender
| Age Group | Average BP – Women | Average BP – Men |
|---|---|---|
| 18–39 years | 110/68 mm Hg | 119/70 mm Hg |
| 40–59 years | 122/74 mm Hg | 124/77 mm Hg |
| 60+ years | 139/68 mm Hg | 133/69 mm Hg |
| These are averages — individual “normal” may vary based on overall health. (Baptist Health) |
📍 Blood Pressure Categories (General Guidance)
| Category | Systolic (mm Hg) | Diastolic (mm Hg) |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | <120 | <80 |
| Elevated | 120–129 | <80 |
| Hypertension Stage 1 | 130–139 | 80–89 |
| Hypertension Stage 2 | ≥140 | ≥90 |
| Hypertensive Crisis | >180 | >120 (seek immediate care) |
| These categories apply across adult ages and help guide diagnosis. (Baptist Health) |
🩺 Quick Notes
- Normal BP tends to rise slightly with age, especially the top (systolic) number.
- Men often average slightly higher readings than women before age ~60.
- Regardless of averages, doctors use universal thresholds (like <120/80) to assess whether blood pressure is within a healthy range. (Baptist Health)
