While 120/80 mmHg remains a healthy target for most adults, averages tend to rise with age due to vascular changes.

đŸ©ș Why Blood Pressure Rises with Age

  • Arterial Stiffness: Blood vessels lose elasticity over time.

  • Plaque Buildup: Cholesterol deposits can narrow arteries.

  • Hormonal Changes: Especially post-menopause in women.

  • Lifestyle Factors: Diet, activity, stress, and weight.
