Men's Blood Pressure

The new normal blood pressure for seniors is generally considered to be below 120/80 mmHg, though slightly higher readings are common as people age. Blood pressure of up to 130/80 mmHg is often still acceptable for older adults, depending on their overall health.

A reading of 140/70 mmHg may indicate elevated systolic blood pressure, which could signal the onset of hypertension, even though the diastolic number is normal. It’s important to monitor this and consult a healthcare provider to assess overall cardiovascular risk.

A blood pressure of 130/90 mmHg is considered borderline high, with elevated systolic and slightly high diastolic pressure. This indicates stage 1 hypertension and may require lifestyle changes or medical intervention.
