which enables searching at various levels of specificity.
Blood pressure levels that are between normotension and hypertension. Individuals with prehypertension are at a higher risk for developing cardiovascular diseases.

For diabetics and other metabolism diseases the prehypertension is around 110-129/70-79 mm Hg.
