Yes ..this is the most accepted and used classification.. but experts say changes with age should also be considered while diagnosing HTN. And this also should include hypertensive crisis.

Its really great and useful. Just a helpful update that use JNC-8 guidelines in the future because it is the latest right now.

Hypertension is classified into normal, elevated, stage 1, stage 2, and hypertensive crisis based on systolic and diastolic readings, helping guide diagnosis, treatment, and risk assessment effectively.

This table is the most accepted classification system

Hypertension classification is as following

1. Normal: Less than 120/80 mmHg
2. Elevated: 120-129/80 mmHg
3. Stage 1 Hypertension: 130-139/80-89 mmHg
4. Stage 2 Hypertension: 140 or higher/90 or higher mmHg

These categories help guide treatment decisions and lifestyle recommendations.
