However, these standard values serve only as a general
guideline, as the individual blood pressure varies in different
people and different age groups etc.

Your doctor will tell you your individual values for normal
blood pressure as well as the value above which your blood
pressure is classified as dangerous.
The bar chart on the display and the scale on the unit show
which category the recorded blood pressure values fall into.
