Yes: In younger people yes. Recent changes in recommendation for optimal blood pressure changed to 150/90 for those over 60 years of age. Most consider 120/80 optimal, though several years back recommendation had dropped that target to 115/70. Recent reviews indicate that the 115/70 most likely has no improved benefit.
