| Age Group | Average Systolic | Average Diastolic |
|---|---|---|
| 20–30 years | ~115 mmHg | ~70 mmHg |
| 40–50 years | ~125 mmHg | ~80 mmHg |
| 60+ years | ~135 mmHg | ~85 mmHg |
⚠️ Remember: Average ≠ Healthy.
Older adults should still aim for below 130/80 mmHg, unless advised otherwise by their doctor. Recent studies show tighter control can reduce stroke and heart attack risk.
