120/70 and NO
Whether you agree or disagree, why not leave your own thoughts below.
The narmal range is 110 to 120 (systolic) over 70 to 80 (diastolic)! It can be taken with an adult machine as long as the cuff fits appropriatley! A bigger/smaller cuff can change the reading!
what can be considered a normal blood pressure. The correct answer is: for every human being has its own rule. Indeed, the size of a normal blood pressure depends on the age of man, his individual characteristics, lifestyle, occupation.
Around 90-100 over 50-60. It is going to vary a bit depending on height.
At eight years old you can maybe take it with an adult machine but I highly doubt the child’s arm would be big enough around to
Check out this chart I found online

The normal blood pressure of a human being independent of age sex is 120/80.
Yes you can take the pressure of an 8 year old boy with adult blood pressure machine
