What is the value for diastole and systole value for hypertension, according to WHO?

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option D
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines hypertension as a condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated. The values for diagnosing hypertension are based on two measurements: diastolic and systolic blood pressure.

According to WHO, hypertension is diagnosed when the diastolic value is greater than 90 mm Hg and the systolic value is greater than 140 mm Hg.

Therefore, the correct answer is > 90 mm Hg, > 140 mm Hg.
