What is the typical diastolic blood pressure range in a normal individual?

  1. 50-60 mmHg

  2. 60-80 mmHg

  3. 80-100 mmHg

  4. 100-120 mmHg

The correct answer is: 60-80 mmHg

The typical diastolic blood pressure range for a normal individual falls between 60-80 mmHg. This range indicates that the pressure in the arteries during the relaxation phase of the heart is within normal limits, allowing for adequate blood flow to the heart and other organs while the heart is not actively pumping. Diastolic blood pressure is an important component of overall cardiovascular health, and values falling within this range are generally associated with lower risks of hypertension-related complications. Values that fall significantly below or above this range may indicate potential health issues, such as hypotension or hypertension, respectively. Maintaining diastolic pressure within this range is crucial for overall cardiovascular function and health.
