9. About Blood Pressure

The World Health Organization (WHO) and National High Blood Pressure Education Program Coordinating
Committee have developed a blood pressure standard, according to which areas of low- and high-risk blood
pressure are identified. This standard, however, is a general guideline as individual's blood pressure varies
among different people and different age groups...etc.
It is important that you consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood
pressure range as well as the point at which you will be considered at risk.
