The blood pressure range in women is consistent with that of normal adults, which should be <140 mmHg systolic and <90 mmHg diastolic. Women's arterial blood pressure differs from that of men in that women's blood pressure is slightly lower than men's before menopause and the same as or slightly higher than men's after menopause. Although there are gender differences in arterial blood pressure, the slightly higher or lower differences should be included in the normal reference range, so the normal values for women's blood pressure are consistent with those of normal adults. Normal systolic blood pressure in women should be <140 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg. The normal blood pressure range can be categorized into normotensive and normohypertensive, with the latter having an increased risk of developing hypertension. Normal blood pressure has a systolic blood pressure of <120 mmHg and a diastolic blood pressure of <80 mmHg, while normal high blood pressure has a systolic blood pressure in the range of 120 to 139 mmHg and/or a diastolic blood pressure in the range of 80 to 89 mmHg. Women are advised to have their blood pressure checked regularly and to seek prompt medical attention if there are any abnormalities.
