Average Resting Heart Rate: What's Normal for Your Age?

An average resting heart rate for adults ranges between 60 to 100 beats per minute (bpm). However, it's important to note that individual resting heart rates can vary based on factors such as age, fitness level, and overall health.

Here's a general guideline for average heart rates:

1. Children:

- Infants (up to 1 year): 80 to 140 bpm

- Children (1 to 10 years): 70 to 110 bpm

2. Adolescents (11 to 17 years):

- 60 to 100 bpm

3. Adults:

- Adults (18 to 64 years): 60 to 100 bpm

- Older adults (65 and above): 55 to 90 bpm

However, it's always a good practice to consult with a healthcare professional to determine your ideal heart rate range and to address any concerns you might have regarding your heart rate.
