Which blood pressure value represents Wellness in the continuum?

• A. 140/90
• B. 105/60
• C. 130/85
• D. 120/80

Answer: (D)

Wellness in blood pressure is represented by a normal, stable reading. The standard reference for a healthy blood pressure is around 120/80 or lower. Among the options, 120/80 sits at that normal benchmark, reflecting a body within the typical wellness range without hypertension or hypotension.

A reading like 140/90 indicates hypertension, which is outside wellness. 130/85 falls into elevated or Stage 1 hypertension territory, not wellness. A reading of 105/60 is on the low side and, while not always problematic, is not the standard marker for wellness in the general population.
