WHO classifications
The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined six
categories for the classification of blood pressure levels.
This classification is provided in the following table.
Range of
blood pressure
levels
Systoles
(mmHg)
Diastoles
(mmHg)
Measure
Optimal
< 120
< 80
Check your blood
pressure on your
own regularly.
Normal
120–129
80-84
Elevated
normal
130-139
85-89
Have your
blood pressure
checked
regularly by a
physician.
Slight
hypertension
140-159
90-99
Moderate
hypertension
160-179
100-109
Have your
physician
examine you
promptly.
Severe
hypertension
≥ 180
≥ 110
The indicator for measurement classification according to the
WHO
25
indicates the range for the measured blood pressure.
If the values for systoles and diastoles are within two different
WHO ranges, the device will display the higher of the two ranges.
However, the WHO only offers a general guideline. Variances
in the individual blood pressure of different persons are not
unusual. Ask your physician for blood pressure levels that are
normal for you and for levels that are considered dangerous.
