Introduction
There is not much difference between blood pressure in adolescents and adults, so the normal blood pressure range for adults can be used as a reference. Blood pressure consists of systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. The normal adult systolic pressure ranges from 90 to 139 mmHg, and the normal diastolic pressure ranges from 60 to 89 mmHg. If blood pressure falls outside the normal range and is caused by an underlying disease, prompt medical attention at a hospital is necessary.

Blood pressure refers to the lateral pressure exerted by blood flowing within blood vessels against the vessel walls, and it is one of the fundamental vital signs in humans. The normal range for adult systolic blood pressure is 90–139 mmHg, while the normal diastolic blood pressure range is 60–89 mmHg. When measuring blood pressure, temporary high or low readings may occur due to factors such as emotional excitement, intense physical activity, or incorrect measurement techniques—these are considered normal physiological variations. However, persistently high or low blood pressure should also be evaluated for possible underlying diseases, such as hypertension, chronic malnutrition, or chronic constrictive pericarditis. If abnormal blood pressure is caused by disease, prompt medical attention at a hospital is necessary to determine the exact cause and receive targeted treatment from a physician.

In daily life, a sphygmomanometer can be used to monitor blood pressure. If blood pressure falls outside the normal range and is accompanied by noticeable physical discomfort, timely intervention is recommended to prevent adverse effects on health.
