Getting your blood pressure to ideal levels is the only way to truly protect yourself from heart disease, a new study conducted by the Heart and Lung Foundation notes. They found that blood pressure slightly above the recommended 120/80 is enough to significantly boost risk of stroke.
Their results of more than 500,000 volunteers notes that borderline high blood pressure –defined as blood pressure of 120/8-129/90- has a 22 percent increased risk of developing stroke. Those with high blood pressure –at 130/90 or above, found themselves with an 80 percent greater risk. The researchers conclude that individuals with high blood pressure should act aggressively to get their numbers as low as possible.

My blood pressure was for a few years at 200/152. On the treadmill test it was 220/165. If I survived that, I can rest assured that my blood vessels and heart will tolerate a higher than normal BP. I’m happy to have my BP down to 140/90.
Christian,
The information in paragraph 2 above is absolute nonsense, even the Daily Mail, renowned for publishing ridiculous health articles, could not compare with this.
As 120/80 is the optimum reading for healthy young people, how can it be the start point for the 22% risk area, and 130/90 be the start point for the 80%
greater risk factor, when my GP has advised that 140/90 is
acceptable in middle to old age.
I seriously believe you should review the content of this article or give a more detailed explanation as to the basis of the content.
Kind regards john
It is true acceptable high blood presure may differ not just as a result of age but gender. It is not the same for men and women.
