High blood pressure can also affect children, from infants to teenagers. Unlike adults, there are specific healthy ranges for children based on age, height, and gender. These ranges are established based on healthy children’s blood pressure readings.

For example, here’s a range of healthy blood pressures if your child is of average height (50th percentile) for their age.

Age (years) Male женский
1 to 3 85/37 to 104/60 86/40 to 102/62
4 to 6 93/50 to 109/69 91/52 to 107/69
7 to 10 97/57 to 114/74 96/57 to 114/73

Talk to your doctor if your child’s blood pressure reading is higher.
