Page 29 DETAILED INFORMATION Reference Values Human blood pressure naturally increases after reaching middle age. This symptom is a result of continuous ageing of the blood vessels. Further causes include diabetes, lack of exercise and cholesterol (LDL) adhering to the blood vessels. Rising blood pressure accelerates hardening of the arteries, and the body becomes more susceptible to apoplexy and coronary infarction.
