Diastolic Blood Pressure: Females, Age 30-39

Diastolic blood pressure is the 'lower number', the pressure in your arteries between heartbeats when the heart is relaxed. The American Heart Association defines normal diastolic BP as below 80 mmHg. Unlike systolic BP, diastolic BP peaks around age 50 and declines thereafter. Data are from NHANES 2001-2008 (n=19,921), a nationally representative survey of US adults. Because hypertension prevalence varies widely by country (NCD-RisC, Lancet 2021), the upper percentiles may not generalize to all populations.

What these numbers mean for females aged 30-39

A score around 72 mmHg is typical (50th percentile) for females in this age group. Times below about 66 mmHg fall near the 75th percentile or higher, indicating above-average performance (faster is better). Times above about 78 mmHg fall near the 25th percentile; about 75% of the reference population ran faster.

Percentiles show how common a value is, not whether it is healthy.
