What Is The Normal Blood Pressure For Each Age b /…,

Age	Systolic (top number) mm Hg	Diastolic (bottom number) mm Hg
Newborns up to 1 month	60–90	20–60
Infants	87–105	53–66
Toddlers	95–105	53–66
Preschoolers	95–110	56–70
School-aged children	97–112	57–71
Adolescents	112–128	66–80

In adulthood, the average bl00d pressures by age and gender are:

As you get older, the chances of developing high blood pressure (hypertension) increase significantly. Here’s why:

Stiffer arteries: With age, your arteries lose some of their elasticity. This makes it harder for blood to flow smoothly, which raises your pressure.
Plaque buildup: Over time, fatty deposits can accumulate in blood vessels, further restricting flow and increasing pressure.
Hormonal and kidney changes: Aging can alter how the body regulates fluid and salt, both of which impact blood pressure.

These changes make high blood pressure one of the leading risk factors for heart attacks, strokes, and vascular dementia in older adults.
