Normal Blood pressure for Adults

 

Normal Blood Pressure for Adults:

The average blood pressure range for adults (ages 20 or more) is about 120/80 mm Hg or below.

Normal Blood Pressure by Age:

With time, your blood vessels become stiff, and plaque (a fatty material) may develop in them. As a result, blood pressure rises to its average value. If you have too much high blood pressure, you are more likely to acquire cardiovascular diseases or stroke.
