Seniors: Which Blood Pressure Number Is More Dangerous? Systolic vs Diastolic Explained

Seniors: Which Blood Pressure Number Is More Dangerous? Systolic vs Diastolic Explained As we age, blood pressure readings change, and the risks behind those numbers are not the same as they were in younger years. Many seniors focus on keeping one number “normal” while unknowingly ignoring the reading that carries the greatest danger. In this video, we break down systolic versus diastolic blood pressure and explain which number matters more for seniors, why arteries stiffen with age, how pulse pressure predicts heart and stroke risk, and what these readings really say about brain, heart, and kidney health. If you’re over 60 or caring for someone who is, understanding this difference could help prevent silent damage, falls, memory problems, and serious cardiovascular events #BloodPressure #SeniorsHealth #HeartHealth #SystolicVsDiastolic #Hypertension #AgingWell #StrokePrevention #HealthyAging #Over60Health #SeniorWellness
