What is the typical systolic blood pressure range?

The typical systolic blood pressure range for adults is generally considered to be between 90 and 120 mmHg, with 120 mmHg being the upper limit for normal blood pressure. The choice reflecting a range of 100 to 140 mmHg comfortably fits within this standard.

Having systolic blood pressure in this range indicates that the heart is pumping effectively while blood flows through arteries, which is essential for ensuring that all organs receive adequate blood supply. Blood pressure values lower than 100 mmHg may indicate hypotension, whereas values exceeding 120 mmHg suggest potential hypertension risks. Maintaining blood pressure within the typical range is crucial for overall health.
