Blood pressure classification WHO
These values have been specified by the World Health Organisation (WHO)
without making any allowance for age.
Low blood pressure systolic <100 diastolic <60
Normal blood pressure (green display area )
systolic 100 - 139 diastolic 60 - 89
Forms of high blood pressure / hypertension
Mild hypertension (yellow display area )
systolic 140 – 159 diastolic 90 – 99
Moderate hypertension (orange display area )
systolic 160 – 179 diastolic 100 – 109
Severe hypertension (red display area )
systolic ≥ 180 diastolic ≥ 1
Blood pressure that is too low represents just as great a health
risk as blood pressure that is too high! Fits of dizziness may
lead to dangerous situations arising (e.g. on stairs or in traffic)!

Remove any garment that fits closely to your
upper arm.
Always measure on the same arm (normally left).
Measurements should be taken regularly at the
same time of each day
even during the day
Any effort to support the arm during measurement
may increase the measured blood pressure.
Make sure, you are in a comfortable, relaxed posi-
tion and do not move or constrict your muscles
during measurement. Use a cushion to support your
arm if necessary
If the arm artery lies lower or higher than the heart,
a false reading will be obtained.
A
With repeated measurements , blood accumulates
in the arm which can lead to false reading.
Consecutive blood pressure measurements should
be repeated after 1 minute pause or after the
arm has been held up in order to allow the
accumulated blood to flow away
