Blood Pressure Standard
The World Health Organization (WHO) and National
High Blood Pressure Education Program Coordinating
Committee have developed a blood pressure standard,
according to which areas of low- and high-risk blood pressure
are identified. This standard, however, is a general guideline
and blood pressures vary between different people, age
groups, etc.
It is important that you consult with your physician regularly.
Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range
as well as the point
at which you will be considered at risk.
