Dear friends

Forwarding herewith a link suggesting a simple rule for judging
higher limit of BP in children.
This is an Indian Study.
Viz:
Systolic blood pressure (95th centile)

1–17 years = 100 + (age in years x 2)



Diastolic blood pressure (95th centile)

1–10 years = 60 + (age in years x 2)

11–17 years = 70 + (age in years).
