French doctors came to the conclusion that normal pressure is a conditional, but in general, the lower it is, the better. The notion of what is normal pressure is gradually changing. It used to be normal that with age many people have high blood pressure. Then it began to be called hypertensive disease, according to the Internet edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net According to the criteria of the World Health Organization, blood pressure is considered elevated if it is more than 140/90 mm Hg. art.. However, these figures, apparently, are too high.

Doctors from the Lapeyroni Clinic in Montpellier found that even "normal" pressure can lead to kidney and heart damage. To participate in the study, 265 healthy volunteers with pressures below 140/90 mm Hg. art.. They were divided into three groups: low normal pressure (less than 120/80 mm Hg. art.. ), with just normal pressure (less than 130/85 mm Hg. art..

) and high normal (130-139 / 85-89 mm Hg. art.. During the follow-up, the function of the kidneys and the heart worsened in 23% of subjects with high normal and only 7% with low normal pressure. Most of the volunteers with high normal pressure developed clear arterial hypertension in six years of observation. The authors of the study recommend starting active treatment even when there is still no formal arterial hypertension.
