What should be the normal blood pressure for a 40 year old man?

As this question has been shared for you in previous answers, for the diagnostic criteria of hypertension in adults, regardless of age, if the blood pressure is more than 140/90 mmhg, it falls under the diagnostic category of hypertension. However, there are a few things to keep in mind.

1. The human body's blood pressure value has two values, namely, high pressure and low pressure, also known as systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. In diagnosing hypertension, regardless of high or low pressure, if it is greater than or equal to the above values, i.e., high pressure ≥140mmhg and low pressure ≥90mmhg, it can be diagnosed as hypertensive disease.

2. The second aspect of the diagnostic criteria for hypertension is that the blood pressure in the clinic is greater than the above mentioned values, that is to say, the patient's blood pressure measured in the hospital or clinic is the diagnostic criterion. Because the level of the patient's blood pressure measured in the hospital is often different from that at home, and the diagnostic criteria for hypertension measured at home are called the home self-measurement blood pressure criteria, the latter can be diagnosed as hypertension if it exceeds 135/85 mmhg.

3. Measurement method. The third aspect is the method of measuring blood pressure, the current measurement of blood pressure, advocating the use of electronic arm-type sphygmomanometer for measurement, in the measurement of the following points should be noted, such as the measurement of blood pressure should be kept calm and rest for 10 to 15 minutes, do not drink strong tea and coffee and other stimulating beverages, the general measurement of the average of the 2-3 times, take the value can be.

In conclusion, if elevated blood pressure is detected, a hospital visit should be made to evaluate the individual's risk stratification and develop the most appropriate treatment plan, including non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic modalities.

This picture is a good example of what blood pressure should look like.

What should be the normal value of blood pressure for an adult in his or her 40s.

As shown above, the normal blood pressure value should be around 120/80mmHg, but few people can maintain this level for a long period of time in the clinic or in normal life.

If you repeatedly measure your blood pressure at this level, then congratulations, your blood pressure is perfect, continue to live a healthy life and exercise regularly for a long time to ensure a good blood pressure.


My blood pressure is around 120-140mmHg/80-90mmHg, what should I do.

Adults at this level of blood pressure, you first you need to worry too much because, theYour current blood pressure is not diagnostic of high blood pressure yet, just high blood pressure values. It indicates that you are potentially at risk of developing hypertension.

You need to make adjustments to your lifestyle such asExercise regularly, lose weight, don't eat too much grease, and other such lifestyle changes.

If you are able to adhere to these lifestyles above, your blood pressure may improve significantly.

Like me if you like my answer.

Let me know if you think my answer is poor.

Think my answer makes sense to follow

Men in their 40s are under the most stress!

A man in his 40s can't be as dashing and comfortable as he was in his 30s!

A 40 year old man can't take it as seriously as a 50 year old!

The burden on the shoulders of a 40-year-old man is getting heavier and heavier, with the old and the young, all on their own, and this time is also more likely to induce a lot of diseases.There is no harm in measuring the blood pressure of a 40-year-old man, because there are more and more people with high blood pressure, as the danger of high blood pressure is very great.

Don't let the top pillar of the family at the age of 40 fall under the fist of high blood pressure, how much blood pressure is considered normal blood pressure for a 40-year-old man? At present, there is no standard for refining blood pressure according to age at home and abroad, for adults from 18-65, basically according to a blood pressure standard, that is, the following table.

Simply put, a high blood pressure of around 120 and a low pressure of around 70 is considered normal; when the blood pressure is between 130-139/85-89, it should be considered high normal, or close to high blood pressure; when the blood pressure is higher than 140/90, it is considered high blood pressure; when the blood pressure is lower than 90/60, it is considered low blood pressure.

40-year-old man why more likely to occur high blood pressure, in addition to the usual factors that induce high blood pressure: high salt, smoking and alcoholism, no exercise, obesity, stay up late and so on, there is also an important reason is the pressure, mental tension.

40-year-old man just result of the burden of society and the burden of the family, facing the pressure of children's learning, the pressure of children's education, children's cramming pressure, the pressure to buy a house, the pressure to buy a car, the pressure to pay the loan, the pressure to promote, the pressure of parents' poor health, the pressure to work, etc. Pressure of countless sit on a mountain of pressure in the shoulders of 40-year-old man, in the long run, which can be sympathetic nerves in a state of excitement, it is easy to cause heart rate Accelerated, high blood pressure.

So, in addition to quitting smoking and drinking, low-salt, low-fat and low-sugar diets, adhering to exercise and regular work and rest for men in their 40s.

The main thing is to learn to self-regulation, self-relief, self-flirtation, happy and happy every day. Imagine even if you are not happy and unhappy, the house will not get bigger, the car will not get ho, the child will not go to Tsinghua University, and you will not be able to win the 5 million ......

So why bother? Depression, stress, and unhappiness will only make things worse and will only raise your blood pressure.

Instead of this, we should learn to release the pressure, learn to have some fun, be optimistic, positive, and work hard to do everything well, as for the results, to hell with it, as much as you like!

For a 40-year-old man, a blood pressure of around 120/70 is ideal, and higher than 140/90 should be considered high blood pressure!

The age of 40 is the rich and powerful prime of life, what is the normal value of blood pressure in this period? I believe that many people are very concerned. Blood pressure is our arterial blood flow process on the blood vessel wall pressure measurement, but also an important indicator of our body's vital signs and health, we need to know is that the human body's blood pressure is in constant change, but under normal circumstances in a range of fluctuations. Regardless of our age, our normal blood pressure should be between 90/60mmHg and 140/90mmHg. So whether you are 40 years old, 4 years old, or 80 years old, your blood pressure should normally be within this range.

Our blood pressure changes throughout the day, and in normal people it fluctuates in a spoon shape, i.e. from 6am to 10am and from 16pm to 20pm as the peak of the day, and from 12pm to 14pm and from 0am to 2am at the low peak of the blood pressure. However, no matter how it varies, it should normally fluctuate within the above blood pressure ranges. When the blood pressure ≥ 140/90mmHg is considered to be elevated, and below 90/60mmHg is considered to be lowered, the blood pressure within 90~119/60~79mmHg is the ideal blood pressure, such as 120~139/80~89mmHg, it is the normal high value, and need to actively improve the life style, so as to avoid the development of high blood pressure.

Blood pressure measurement should be standardized, it is recommended to use a calibrated electronic sphygmomanometer, to rest quietly for at least five minutes before the measurement, to avoid staying up all night, strenuous exercise, drinking tea, coffee and alcohol, and to ask to empty urine and feces at the same time. The first measurement of blood pressure should be measured in both hands, choose the side of the blood pressure peak to measure, at the same time to choose the appropriate cuff, measurement of the cuff should be flush with the heart. Blood pressure should be measured twice at an interval of 1 to 2 minutes and then averaged. If the difference in blood pressure between the two measurements is >5 mmHg, it is recommended to take the average value after one more measurement. If hypertension is to be diagnosed, the above steps should be repeated three times on a non-same day, and the diagnosis can only be made if they are all higher than normal.

Measurement of blood pressure may seem simple, but in fact it is not, and clinically many of our doctors have difficulty in standardizing the measurement. We hope that everyone will have a correct understanding of blood pressure, and once diagnosed with hypertension, we need to actively seek medical treatment and formulate an individualized plan under the guidance of the doctor. At the same time, we should actively improve our lifestyle and take medication regularly, and pay attention to monitoring the changes in blood pressure and regular checkups.

Men in their forties are at a special age when their careers are growing in splendor while their bodies are undergoing a series of changes. Due to the long-term late nights, lack of exercise, and changes in eating habits, blood pressure is also quietly changing.

What should be the normal blood pressure for a 40 year old male

When a person becomes an adult, the criteria for determining normal and abnormal blood pressure are the same regardless of gender or age. What we need to focus on is: where to keep the blood pressure under control, ideally, with the least impact on the body.

When blood pressure does not exceedAt 120/80 mmHg, it means that your blood pressure is under ideal control, as control atBlood pressure in this range does little harm to our cardiovascular system and is the optimal blood pressure level.

When blood pressure is more than 120/80 mmHg and less than 140/90 mmHg, blood pressure in this range is considered normal and highIf your blood pressure is above 115/75mmHg for a long period of time, you need to intervene actively because the chance of cardiovascular events increases exponentially for every 20mmHg increase in high pressure and every 10mmHg increase in low pressure. At this point, it is necessary to slow down your work pace, pay attention to change dietary habits.

When blood pressure reaches140/90 mmHg, after the measurement of blood pressure is standardized and environmental and human interference is excluded, should be diagnosed with hypertension.

If the blood pressure does not exceed 160/100mmHg, it can be controlled by lifestyle changes: control sodium intake, not more than 5g per day; eat more fresh vegetables and fruits; eat less animal fats, fatty meats, animal offal, eggs, etc.; quit smoking and limit alcohol; reduce weight; exercise properly; try not to stay up late and have a regular work and rest schedule. Usually after about 3 months, blood pressure can be effectively controlled.

If the blood pressure exceeds 160/100mmHg, oral antihypertensive drugs should be taken at this time to control the blood pressure, it is recommended to combine two drugs with different antihypertensive principles, starting with small doses of drugs, preferably long-acting agents, and to bring the blood pressure up to the standard in 3-6 months to minimize its damage to the heart, brain, kidneys, and other important target organs, and at the same time, attention should be paid to change the life style.

Specific blood pressure in a 40-year-old man: high low pressure

40-year-old men have entered the middle-aged era, due to long-term late night, lack of exercise, obesity, smoking, alcohol, overeating and other factors, will lead to our diastolic blood pressure is higher than the normal range, i.e., low-pressure high, at this time, is the blood pressure to high blood pressure over a stage, if the active intervention, can be restored to normal; if allowed to develop, will gradually develop into systolic blood pressure is also elevated in patients with high blood pressure. Therefore, when you find that your blood pressure is high, please have a regular work and rest schedule, stay up late at night, exercise appropriately, lose weight, stop smoking and limit alcohol, eat regularly, eat a low-salt, low-fat, low-cholesterol, low-sugar, low-calorie diet, avoid overeating, and after a few months of adjustments, your blood pressure can return to normal.

In summary, a 40-year-old man with a blood pressure of 120/80 mmHg or less is considered ideal; high pressure of 120-139 mmHg and low pressure of 80-89 mmHg are normal high values of blood pressure, and attention should be paid to changing the lifestyle to prevent the blood pressure from continuing to rise; if the blood pressure continues to reach 140/90 mmHg, it should be diagnosed as hypertension, and a reasonable treatment plan should be formulated according to the level of blood pressure to minimize the damage to target organs. A reasonable treatment program should be formulated according to the level of blood pressure in order to reduce the damage to target organs. Patients with high BP should have a regular work and rest schedule, stay up less late, exercise appropriately, lose weight, quit smoking and limiting alcohol, and eat a regular diet, which can often avoid the occurrence of typical hypertension.

Thanks for reading!

Men to the age of 40, it is "hold the words, but also hold the urine" of the good age, but also on the oldest and youngest of the greatest pressure of the age, therefore, whether you want to create a peak in the career, or let the family live a better life, 40-year-old men should pay more attention to their health, after all, without the health of the After all, without the health of this "1", behind how many "0", will become meaningless.

What should be the blood pressure of a 40-year-old man? In fact, medical science does not divide the body's normal blood pressure according to the age group, the normal blood pressure of adults should be about 120/80 level, of course, different physiques, different people, there will be slight differences, but the general change will not be too big, generally if the blood pressure is high pressure to 120~140mmhg, low pressure to the level of 80~90 such a level, although has not yet reached more than 140/90 Hypertension diagnostic value, belongs to the normal blood pressure high value of the situation, in this case, it is worth to cause our full attention.

Have the conditions to do a physical examination every year friends will find that, with the continuous growth of age, especially after the age of 35, the original all normal many indicators, there will always be such and such a gradual failure, many times, the man to the age of 40, blood pressure, blood lipids, blood glucose, blood uric acid and other indicators of the chances of anomalies will gradually increase, therefore, men over 40 years of age, may wish to carry out a routine every year! Therefore, men over 40 years of age, may wish to have a routine health checkup every year, a lot of physical problems can be done early detection, early intervention.

If the blood pressure is found to be elevated, in the high value of normal blood pressure or has exceeded the standard diagnosis of hypertension, we must pay enough attention to it. For the high value of normal blood pressure, or simple mild hypertension (blood pressure does not exceed 160/100), you should actively carry out life conditioning intervention control, dietary attention to salt control and fat control, strengthen the exercise exercise, control weight, quit smoking and limit alcohol, maintain a calm state of mind, avoid staying up too late, all these aspects, will help to control and regulate the level of blood pressure, in general, the physical condition of the age of 40 years old is still good. Generally speaking, at the age of 40, the physical condition is still good, through strict self-discipline, reasonable life conditioning interventions, many of the friends who have high normal blood pressure or mild hypertension, are able to make the blood pressure back to normal. Normalizing your blood pressure is not just about blood pressure, it is about the overall health benefits of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, which will be long term and safe.

If you cannot effectively control your blood pressure through life conditioning for a period of time (3 months or half a year), and you still have high blood pressure, or if your high blood pressure is found to be more than Grade 2 moderate or severe, or if you have mild high blood pressure accompanied by other cardiovascular risks such as diabetes and high blood cholesterol, you are generally advised to take antihypertensive medication in a timely manner to synergistically control your high blood pressure, on top of strengthening your life conditioning. The rational application of antihypertensive drugs to control hypertension as early as possible can minimize the cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, renal and other health risks associated with high blood pressure as early as possible.

For an age of about 40 years old, many friends still have such a doubt: the blood pressure level of high pressure does not exceed the standard, in the vicinity of 120~130mmhg, while the low pressure has long exceeded 90mmhg, there is a purely low-pressure high situation, for such a situation, is it normal? Is it normal for such a case? Can it be judged as high blood pressure? In fact, high low pressure is often unique to young and middle-aged people a blood pressure situation, but whether it is low pressure or high pressure, if exceeded, should attract enough attention, high low pressure if not pay attention to, within a few years, may develop into a low pressure and high pressure are high really high blood pressure problems.

And low pressure high such a blood pressure situation, often through the life of the conditioning control, there will be a very good effect of decline. For example, friends with obesity problems, if you can control the obesity problem, the weight and waistline down, the problem of high blood pressure naturally disappeared; and then for example, some of the pressure, long-term anxiety and tension of the situation, if you can let yourself think open, look at the point of openness, quit anxiety and tension of the emotions, maintain a good and optimistic state of mind, anxiety and tension of the sympathetic nervous system caused by the tension and the acceleration of the heart rate of the resulting high blood pressure problems, will also be solved; if life has a high salt diet, taste friends, often through life management control will have a very good effect. The problem of high blood pressure caused by anxiety and nervousness will be solved; if you have a high salt diet and heavy taste, you may try to eat a little lighter and control the salt intake, all these aspects may help to alleviate and control high blood pressure.

In conclusion, no matter whether it is a high normal blood pressure value, simple low pressure high, or diagnosed high blood pressure, it is worth to cause us enough attention, treat high blood pressure problem, pay attention to monitoring, early detection, early intervention, early control, in order to minimize the chances of further development of high blood pressure, but also to further reduce the health hazards caused by high blood pressure.

Thanks for the invitation!

Blood pressure is normal by our standards:

90 I < 140/50 I < 90 mmHg.

Recently published standards in the United States: <130/<90 mmHg is considered normal blood pressure.

This is a very real problem, because nowadays the three high groups of people are very huge, including high blood pressure. And whether it is high blood pressure or high blood sugar, as long as it is pressed down by external means such as drugs, its effect on theThe health hazards areremain! That's why it's so important to keep your blood pressure normal and stable.

In the medical field, the distinction is usually made between "disease" and "normal". When the blood pressure reaches a standard: high pressure higher than 140 mmHg (the new standard recommended in the United States this year is 130 mmHg, which is not yet followed in our country), low pressure higher than 90 mmHg (the new standard is 85 mmHg), either alone or both of them, are diagnosed as"Hypertension."--Yes, it's a disease! At this point it's time to consider whether or not to intervene medically, depending on the situation. And while pharmacological intervention is often not recommended when blood pressure is between 120 and 139 mmHg or 80 and 89 mmHg, at this point a significant number of people's tissues begin to be affected by high blood pressure, and without attention they can step inside the door of hypertensive disease.

In general, the quiet blood pressure of adults is best controlled at a high pressure of 90-120mmHg and a low pressure of 60-80mmHg, with the ideal being 100-110mmHg and 60-70mmHg. As age increases and body functions decline, the high pressure will rise, but before the age of 50, there should be no major changes, or remain within 120mmHg; and as the muscles and skin relax and blood vessel elasticity also decline, the low pressure should remain good or fall slightly, much less rise too much. muscle and skin relaxation, blood vessel elasticity also declines, low pressure should remain good or slightly decreased, not to mention too much rise. Therefore, for men in their 40s, it is best to keep their blood pressure at a high pressure of 120mmHg and a low pressure of 75mmHg or less, at least not more than 130mmHg and 80mmHg.

The way to maintain stable blood pressure is undoubtedly reasonable exercise, especially aerobic exercise, jogging, cycling, swimming, walking, are on the very good choice, of course, there are conditions can also choose other sports. Effective exercise can not only maintain the body's vitality, but also make us less sick and less medication!

Dr. Duan Q&A Online 🔑Normal Blood Pressure 🔑

The criteria for defining normal and high blood pressure are the same for both men and women older than 18 years of age.



Normal values for blood pressure:

Ideal blood pressure: <120/80 mmHg;

High normal blood pressure: 120-140/80-90 mmHg;

The difference between the two is that a person's blood pressure <120/80mmHg is optimal and best for the body. When the blood pressure gets to 120-140/80-90mmHg, it needs attention and should be regulated by diet and exercise, but not to the point of using antihypertensive drugs.

Criteria for hypertension:

Blood pressure measured in a clinic or hospital: high pressure ≥ 140, or low pressure ≥ 90 mmHg.

Home self-measured blood pressure: high pressure ≥135, or low pressure ≥85 mmHg.

Hypertension is diagnosed whenever one of the high or low pressures exceeds the standard.

The reason for the definition of normal and high blood pressure is:

When blood pressure is <120/80mmHg, the probability of cardiovascular disease is greatly reduced. As blood pressure rises, the risk of cardiovascular disease increases exponentially for every 20 mmHg increase in high pressure and every 10 mmHg increase in low pressure.

Dr. Duan specifically warned:

(1) A high blood pressure measured once in a while does not indicate high blood pressure. It is necessary to measure the blood pressure of three days other than the same day and take the average value so that the blood pressure measured is the most accurate.

(2) In fact, blood pressure measured at home by yourself is more accurate than that measured in hospitals and clinics. If available, you can choose an upper arm electronic blood pressure monitor.

(3) In addition to hereditary factors, good lifestyle habits, in addition to hypertension, are the key to influencing blood pressure.

Many people do not feel any uncomfortable symptoms for quite some time after their blood pressure rises. There are two main reasons for this illusion, one is that the human body has adapted to the gradually rising blood pressure, and the lowering of blood pressure will feel uncomfortable; the second is that the damage of high blood pressure requires years of accumulation, and generally only after 10 years will become apparent. Hypertension can cause serious complications such as stroke, chronic kidney disease, retinopathy, heart failure, arrhythmia, coronary heart disease, aneurysm, aortic coarctation, etc., which seriously affects people's health and life expectancy.


According to the diagnostic criteria for hypertension, adults are diagnosed with hypertensive disease when their blood pressure is consistently higher than 140/90 mm Hg. Normal blood pressure in adults should be less than 120/80 mm Hg, and the condition between hypertensive disease and normal blood pressure is known as prehypertension. This is the norm for adults of all ages, both men and women. The incidence of cardiovascular disease is significantly higher in people with pre-hypertension than in people with normal blood pressure, even if they are in pre-hypertension, so it is important to intervene aggressively with one's blood pressure whenever it is higher than 120/80 mm Hg.

Antihypertensive treatment for hypertension mainly includes both pharmacological and non-pharmacological antihypertensive measures. When the blood pressure is low and the risk of cardiovascular and cerebral blood diseases is low, non-pharmacological antihypertensive measures can be taken first, i.e., controlling the bad lifestyle habits that cause elevated blood pressure:

1, overweight, body mass index of more than 25 people, the risk of hypertension is more than three times that of people with normal weight. In addition to controlling diet to reduce weight, it is also necessary to strengthen physical exercise. It has been proved that, on the basis of a balanced diet, moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for more than 30 minutes a day and more than 5 times a week can effectively control weight and reduce blood pressure;

2, limit salt, the prevalence of hypertension in the north is significantly higher than that in the south, which has a direct relationship with the amount of salt they consume in their daily diet. Most experts recommend that adults consume less than 6 grams of salt per day, while eating more potassium-rich vegetables and fruits, which can effectively control the rise of blood pressure;

3, reduce alcohol consumption, long-term drinking will not only cause blood pressure, but also cause an increase in the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, alcohol cessation after the blood pressure will be significantly reduced down.

If the blood pressure cannot be controlled below 140/90 mmHg within 3 months by the above means, we should go to the hospital to see a doctor and start a medication program to lower the blood pressure under the doctor's supervision.
