What Is The Normal BP For An 8 Yr. Old ?

What is the normal blood pressure for an 8 yr. old boy? I am wondering what the normal blood pressure for an year old boy is? Can I take it with an adult blood pressure machine? Thanks!

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 http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/hypertension/child_tbl.pdf
