What is the normal blood pressure for men?

Nowadays, high blood pressure has become a common symptom. Why is this? This is because the rapid development of society has affected the pace of people's lives. When we are young, we are strong and healthy, but if we do not pay attention to our diet and physical condition, we may suffer from high blood pressure when we are old. This is the current trend of high blood pressure. In our daily life, we should also learn more about blood pressure. For men, what is the normal blood pressure for men?

The human body's circulatory organs include the heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic system, which are interconnected to form a basically closed "pipeline system." A normal heart is a powerful muscle organ, like a water pump, beating rhythmically day and night. The heart contracts and expands, causing blood to flow continuously in the circulatory organs. When blood flows in the blood vessels, whether the heart contracts or relaxes, it exerts a certain amount of pressure on the blood vessel walls. When the heart contracts, the pressure in the aorta is the highest, and the blood at this time is called "high pressure"; when the left ventricle relaxes, the pressure in the aorta is the lowest, so it is called "low pressure." Usually, what we call "blood pressure" actually refers to the blood pressure measurement of the brachial artery in the upper arm, that is, the blood pressure measurement of the blood vessels in the armpit, which is an indirect measurement of the blood pressure in the large arteries. Usually, the blood pressure on the right side and the left side are different. The maximum difference can be 10 mmHg, and the minimum difference is less than 5 mmHg.

Normal blood pressure is the prerequisite for blood circulation. Blood pressure is maintained normal under the regulation of multiple factors, thereby providing sufficient blood to various tissues and organs to maintain normal metabolism. Too low or too high blood pressure (hypotension, hypertension) can cause serious consequences, and the disappearance of blood pressure is a precursor to death. This shows that blood pressure has extremely important biological significance.

For adults, China adopts the 1999 World Health Organization and World Hypertension Federation diagnosis and classification standards for hypertension: ideal blood pressure: systolic pressure <120 mmHg, diastolic pressure <80 mmHg; upper limit of normal: systolic pressure 130-139 mmHg, diastolic pressure 85-89 mmHg. Adults are normal within this range. In addition, blood pressure is related to time of day. It is lower in the morning and higher in the evening, after work, when the temperature is high, and when you are nervous. Men have higher blood pressure than women, and there is little difference in age. Elderly people may have slightly higher blood pressure due to vascular sclerosis, but it is better not to exceed this range.

There is no gender distinction in the definition of normal blood pressure for men. The blood pressure of adults is the same and does not change much due to gender. When we are young, we should learn about blood pressure so that when we help others or diagnose ourselves in the future, we can understand the facts earlier and take appropriate measures as soon as possible.
