History of tolerated limits, respectively recommendations for them[edit]

The prevailing rules, to define «high blood pressure» haven't been the same all the time. Previously there has been more tolerance for elder people. Quite surprising is also, that the tolerance should be the same for all people, young, old, big, small, heavy, light... It may be desirable, that heavy people lose weight.
