“Normal” blood pressure depends more on overall health and risk factors than age alone. That said, typical ranges by age are often summarized like this (for resting blood pressure in adults and children):

---

🔹 Adults (18 years and older)

According to current guidelines:

• Normal:
  Below 120 / 80 mmHg

• Elevated:
  120–129 / less than 80

• High Blood Pressure (Hypertension Stage 1):
  130–139 / 80–89

• Hypertension Stage 2:
  140 or higher / 90 or higher

⚠️ Even though blood pressure tends to rise with age, the goal for most adults — including older adults — is still under 130/80 mmHg, depending on individual health conditions.

🔹 Children & Teens (1–17 years)

For children, normal blood pressure depends on:

• Age

• Sex

• Height

General simplified ranges:

Doctors use percentile charts for accuracy in kids.

---

🔹 Older Adults (60+ years)

Many healthy older adults:

• Often fall around 120–130 / 70–80

• Treatment may begin at 130/80 or higher, depending on overall health

Some frail older adults may have slightly different targets set by their doctor.
