What range show my BP be in. 50 year old black
There isn't really a normal blood pressure, there is a continuum of
blood pressures among ppl at any age (for example, 50). By age 50,
about 1/2 of Americans will have a blood pressure that is higher than
what cardiovascular disease prevention guidelines have set as targets.
The goal blood pressure for a 50 year old person without any other
medical issues is <140/90. People at higher risk of developing
cardiovascular disease have correspondingly lower blood pressure
targets. People with kidney disease, diabetes or prediabetes (also
known as metabolic syndrome), and those with known cardiovascular
disease (heart failure or previous heart attack) should have a target
blood pressure of <130.80.
