Normal range of blood pressure for 50-year-old men

As the number of people suffering from hypertension in my country continues to grow, people are particularly concerned about whether their blood pressure is within the normal range. Some middle-aged and elderly people have a misconception that when they reach a certain age, even if their blood pressure is slightly higher, it is within the normal range. They think it is normal for blood pressure to increase with age, but in fact this view is only "self-defeating".

Safe range of blood pressure for men over 50 years old

As we all know, blood pressure measured three times on the same day is not always accurate and will not give different diagnoses within these three ranges:

1. Blood pressure values ​​are normal: systolic pressure <12b250mHg and diastolic pressure <8b250mHg.

2. High blood pressure values: systolic pressure is in the range of 120-139 mmHg, and diastolic pressure is in the range of 80-89 mmHg.

3. Hypertension: systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg.

This blood pressure diagnosis range applies to all groups, regardless of age or gender. The range of normal blood pressure values ​​does not increase with age. Although research data shows that the average blood pressure value of Chinese men increases with age, this does not mean that this "increase" is healthy. To maintain a healthy body, you should not have this "lucky" mentality.

You can ensure these aspects to prevent high blood pressure

1. Low sodium diet

Scientific research shows that consuming too much salt can cause blood pressure to rise.

2. Maintain a stable work and rest schedule

Long-term lack of rest will cause an increase in blood pressure and greatly damage cardiovascular health. If you want to maintain low blood pressure for a long time, it is very necessary to maintain a stable work and rest schedule, reduce staying up late, and get enough sleep as much as possible.

3. Maintain proper fitness exercise

Many adults still shoulder heavy responsibilities at work and have no time to exercise, but the benefits of proper exercise on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems are obvious. However, it should be noted that exercise should not be too much, and the intensity of exercise should be determined according to one's own condition to avoid losing more than one thing.

4. Keep your weight within a healthy range

Many adults have signs of "middle-aged obesity". Although this can reflect the freedom of life to a certain extent, remember not to let "happy fat" affect the physical and mental health of the human body. Pay attention to controlling the intake of calories in your daily diet, and control the amount of food that contains too much fat in the body.

5. Maintain a positive attitude and release stress

When people reach forty, they are in a relatively stable stage in their life. They are relatively stable at work, and the pressure of raising children is gradually relieved. At this time, they should learn to "relieve stress on their own" and adjust their mental state. Whether it is the decline of human body functions or the pressure of work in various aspects of daily life, they should learn to accept it calmly and deal with it actively.
