What is the normal range of blood pressure for a 16 year old?

In life, people often suffer from high blood pressure or low blood pressure. No matter it is high blood pressure or low blood pressure, the harm is very great. People with bad eating habits or due to some disease factors are prone to low blood pressure. Middle-aged and elderly people and obese people are very susceptible to high blood pressure. Generally speaking, children in their teens rarely have high blood pressure or low blood pressure. So what is the normal blood pressure range for 16-year-olds?

Normal blood pressure range for 16-year-olds:

To determine whether a person's body is in a healthy state, you can judge whether the person's blood pressure value is normal, and then further judge the person's health status. Everyone's blood pressure varies. A 16-year-old teenager is still in the period of puberty. Paying attention to his or her blood pressure is also paying attention to his or her own health. So what is the normal blood pressure for a 16-year-old teenager? What is the normal range of blood pressure? Let’s take a look.

1. Normal blood pressure

Blood pressure can be divided into systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure refers to the pressure of blood on the inner wall of blood vessels when the human heart contracts and the arterial pressure rises. It is also called high pressure. Diastolic pressure refers to the pressure generated when the elasticity of arterial blood vessels contracts when the human heart relaxes. It is also called low pressure. For a 16-year-old teenager, the best blood pressure value is 120/80 mmHg, that is, the systolic pressure is 120 mmHg and the diastolic pressure is 80 mmHg.

2. Normal range

In fact, whether it is a 16-year-old teenager or people of other age groups, the normal blood pressure range is the same, that is, systolic pressure is 90~140mmHg, and diastolic pressure is 60~90mmHg. As long as blood pressure is within this range, it is normal. It’s just that blood pressure fluctuates to a certain extent in each age group. For 16-year-old teenagers, the ideal blood pressure range should be: systolic pressure is 110~120 mmHg, and diastolic pressure is 70~80 mmHg.

3. Warm reminder

The level of blood pressure can be affected by factors such as exercise, tension, and poor sleep. Therefore, when measuring blood pressure, you should keep calm and measure your blood pressure in the best condition. If you are trying to determine whether you have high blood pressure or low blood pressure, you need to measure your blood pressure multiple times and cannot blindly draw a conclusion based on one value.
