What is the correct blood presure reading?

for a male 48 years outmodedWhat is the correct blood presure reading?
you want less than 120/80
anything between 120-140/80-100 is prearranged as prehypertensive
anything over these values is hypertensive and requires pharmacologic therapy
120 to 140 systolic (the top number)
70 to 90 diastolic (bottom number)
anything in this range is mundane
There is no BP called correct BP although near is an acceptable extent of 100-140/60-90mmHg for a healthy full-grown. Everybody is different depending on age, weight, sex, see, emotions, cardiac function and other physical conditions. You can enjoy a 48 yr old Olympic winner and a 48 yr old near kidney failure. Both are equal age but the acceptable reading of their BPs are totally different. What is "correct" is actually what is their norm, "incorrect" will be any incidence of substantial variation. I have see somebody's BP of 98/54, which is his baseline. If his BP goes up to 120/80, he will want medical attention.
120/80 but anything a little greater is pre-hypertension
there is no such item.
The normal blood pressure is around 120/70.
( Correct blood pressure vehicle, whether or not the instrument is showing you the correct reading vs. a wrong measurement )
