Your resting heart rate can tell you a lot about your health. Here’s what your pulse should be at every age

Your resting heart rate (RHR) is an important indicator of your overall cardiovascular health.

It reflects how efficiently your heart is working when you're at rest. Here’s what a healthy resting heart rate should be at different ages:

Newborns: 70-190 beats per minute (BPM) 1-5 years: 80-120 BPM

6-15 years: 70-100 BPM 16-65 years: 60-100 BPM 65+ years: 60-80 BPM

A lower resting heart rate is generally associated with better cardiovascular fitness, as it indicates your heart is efficiently pumping blood.

Factors like age, fitness level, and individual health conditions can affect resting heart rate

So it's important to monitor it regularly and consult a healthcare professional if there are any concerns.
