CLASSIFICATIONS OF BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood pressure is classified as follows: - Normal (healthy): Less than 120/80 mm Hg - Elevated: Systolic between 120 and 129 and diastolic less than 80 mm Hg - Stage 1 hypertension: Systolic between 130 and 139 or diastolic between 80 and 89 mm Hg - Stage 2 hypertension: Systolic 140 or higher or diastolic 90 mm Hg or higher - Hypertensive crisis: Systolic greater than 180 and/or diastolic greater than 120 mm Hg
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Bodily movement that results in energy expenditure and encompasses many modes and intensities. Movement that is not structured exercise such as recreational pursuits
HYPERTENSION
