Please describe the normal blood pressure for a child?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies with age: There are published standards that have been derived through research.These vary with the age and stature of the child. The "normal" 130/70 expected in most adults would be hypertensive for most kids. See:www.Nhlbi.Nih.Gov/guidelines/hypertension/child-tbl.Htm.
