What the new guidelines fail to specify is what is “normal” blood pressure and what is high blood pressure. I’m going to stick with the current standard definitions:
Normal (meaning healthy) blood pressure: a systolic pressure under 120 and a diastolic pressure under 80.
Hypertension, or high blood pressure: a systolic pressure of 140 or higher and/or a diastolic pressure of 90 or higher.
What’s new
In a nutshell, here is what the new guidelines recommend:
among adults age 60 and older with high blood pressure, aim for a target blood pressure under 150/90.
among adults age 30 to 59 with high blood pressure, aim for a target blood pressure under 140/90
among adults with diabetes or chronic kidney disease, aim for a target blood pressure under 140/90.
