Classification of arterial diastolic blood pressure (mm Hg) in
adults, 18 years and older
Diastolic blood pressure (mm Hg)
Less than 85
85-89
90-104
105-114
Greater or equal to 115

Severe hypertension
Consider that blood pressure readings are obtained from nearly
200,000 participants in a a large-scale community blood pressure
screening program, and that these measurements follow a normal
distribution. The mean is 85 mm Hg, with a standard deviation of 13
mm Hg.
