Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Blood pressure increases with age and is higher in females than males in the peri-urban Paundra Kshatriya population of West Bengal, India.
The Paundra Kshatriya, a peri-urban population, of South 24-Parganas, West Bengal, was studied to examine the relationship of blood pressure with age. Altogether, 240 adults (male: 98; female: 142) were studied. Both systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (mm Hg) were found to be more among females than among males in different age groups. A gradual increase in SBP and DBP was evident with the advancement of age among both males and females. The coefficient of correlation values depicts a positive relationship between age and SBP as well as age and DBP in both genders.

Bharali et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Blood pressure (n=240). Advancing age vs. Younger age was evaluated on Relationship of systolic and diastolic blood pressure with age and gender. Advancing age was positively correlated with both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in both genders, with females exhibiting higher blood pressure than males across different age groups.
