To examine the changes in arterial tension and establish normal blood pressure ranges across different age groups.
Analyzed data from over 100,000 life insurance applicants
Compiled blood pressure readings for age groups 15-20 and above 60
Compared findings with previous studies advocating for raised normal blood pressure scales.
Blood pressure increased from 123.5 mmHg systolic and 79.5 mmHg diastolic in ages 15-20 to 135.2 mmHg systolic and 86.9 mmHg diastolic in those above 60.
Advocacy for normalization of systolic blood pressure to a range of 140-150 mmHg based on findings.

Population

Over 100,000 life insurance applicants (historical data cited)

Outcome

Arterial tension (blood pressure) trends with agesurrogate
