What is considered normal blood pressure for diastolic measurement?

  1. 60-79

  2. 80-89

  3. 90 or higher

  4. 120 or higher

The correct answer is: 60-79

Blood pressure is measured by two numbers, systolic and diastolic, which represent the pressure in your arteries when your heart is at work and when it is at rest respectively. The normal range for diastolic blood pressure is between 60 and 79. This means that option A is the correct answer as it falls within this range. Option B is incorrect because it is above the normal range. Options C and D are also incorrect because they are significantly higher than the normal range and could indicate high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. It is important to keep your blood pressure within the normal range to maintain good overall health.
