What is the normal range of blood pressure for the elderly?

We all know that the elderly are at high risk of hypertension. For the elderly, high blood pressure has a great impact on their health. So what is the normal range of blood pressure for the elderly?

Normal range of blood pressure in the elderly

1. The systolic blood pressure is between 90-140 mmHg (12.0-18.7 kpa), and the diastolic blood pressure is between 60-90 mmHg (8.0-12.0 kpa). If it is higher than this range, it may be high blood pressure, and if it is lower than this range, it may be low blood pressure.

2. The pressure exerted on the blood vessel walls when blood flows from the heart through the blood vessels to all parts of the body is called blood pressure. When the heart beats, there are two processes: contraction and relaxation, so blood pressure is divided into systolic pressure and diastolic pressure.

Abnormal blood pressure refers to an abnormal condition in which the arterial blood pressure exceeds or falls below the normal value.
