Generally, the standard for healthy blood pressure is defined as a diastolic pressure (i.e., the lower number) between 60 and 89 millimeters of mercury (mmHg), and a systolic pressure (i.e., the higher number) fluctuating between 90 and 139 mmHg. Both high and low blood pressure conditions may pose potential threats to health. Therefore, regular blood pressure monitoring and strictly following the recommendations of healthcare professionals are particularly crucial.

For elderly individuals or patients already diagnosed with specific medical conditions, the ideal blood pressure control targets may need to be adjusted according to individual circumstances. These individuals should closely monitor their blood pressure changes and strictly follow their physician's guidance to ensure the scientific and effective management of blood pressure.

Through proactive lifestyle interventions and necessary medication, the health risks associated with abnormal blood pressure can be effectively reduced, thereby improving quality of life. If discomfort occurs, prompt medical attention is recommended.
