Average Blood Pressure in Adults by Age & Gender
While 120/80 mmHg remains a healthy target for most adults, averages tend to rise with age due to vascular changes.
Health
| Age Group | Women (Average) | Men (Average) |
|---|---|---|
| 18–39 years | 110–120 / 70–80 mmHg | 115–125 / 70–80 mmHg |
| 40–59 years | 120–130 / 75–85 mmHg | 120–135 / 75–85 mmHg |
| 60+ years | 130–140 / 70–90 mmHg | 130–140 / 70–90 mmHg |
Important: These are averages, not targets. Consistently staying below 120/80 mmHg is ideal for long-term heart
