A normal blood pressure in humans

Blood pressure (BP) is an important indicator of health. It does not happen all the time the same and can vary throughout the day for various reasons:

  • stress;
  • from physical exertion;
  • from weather changes.

A slight deviation is considered normal if it occurs occasionally and HELL comes to normal.

Thus, we can conclude that if the pressure of 139/89 was considered normal, but today it is extreme.

In childhood blood pressure depends on age: the older the child, the higher. In addition, it may affect the existing defects, the nervous system, vascular tone and other factors. For children 10 years or younger the following rules:

  • newborn (up to two weeks) is from 60/40 to 96/50;
  • in 4 weeks from 80/40 to 112/74;
  • from two months to a year from 90/50 to 112/74;
  • two to three years – from 100/60 to 112/74;
  • from three to five, from 100/60 to 116/76;
  • from six to ten, from 100/60 to 122/78.

After 10 years in the body begins hormonal changes, accelerated growth of bones and all organs, increases lean muscle mass. With the entry into adolescence (11-12 years) children changing such factors as the upper and lower pressure. The limits at this age – 110/70-126/82. At the age of 13-15 HELL teenagers becomes the same as that of an adult, ie can reach 135/85.
