The WHO blood pressure classification indicator
indicates the range for the measured blood pressure.
If the values for systoles and diastoles are within two
different ranges, the higher of the two ranges will be
displayed.
The WHO only offers a general guideline. It is not
unusual that variances occur in different persons. Ask
your physician for blood pressure levels that are normal
for you and for levels that are considered dangerous.
