Normal blood pressure for both men and women age 20 and older is 120/80, according to the American Heart Association. Around one out of three adults in the United States suffers from high blood pressure. Keep Learning.
The first number is the systolic pressure, when your heart pushes blood around your body. The second is the diastolic pressure, when your heart relaxes. Blood pressure usually ranges between 90 to 250 for the top or maximum number (systolic) and 60 to 140 for the bottom or minimum number (diastolic). A healthy blood pressure is 120/80 or less, but the lower you can get it, the better.
