 blood pressure
The increase in systolic blood pressure associated with aging is probably secondary to the age?associated changes in arterial stiffening because the rise in blood pressure varies directly with vascular stiffness in different populations (6).
The prevalence of an isolated increase in systolic blood pressure is significantly greater in the elderly as compared to younger populations (3, 69).
Systolic pressure was 19% higher and diastolic pressure was 14% lower in the elderly than in the younger patients which may indicate a higher prevalence of isolated systolic hypertension in the older adult (99).

Atmospheric pressure at the Earth's surface is one of the keys to weather, which is one reason weather maps feature H's and L's, representing areas of high and low air pressure.
As the name says, a "high" is an area where the air's pressure is higher than the pressure of the surrounding air.
The pressure is high at the surface where air is slowly descending — much too slowly to feel.

 FAQ | Pressure Testing, Leaks, and System Maintenance
On the other hand, if the tubing system is composed of steel where the question of deterioration may exist, we always recommend testing the radiant panel at the system operating pressure or 10 psi, whichever is greater, for a longer period of time.
Unlike the steel and copper systems which originally had a 500 psi bursting strength, the plastic and rubber tubings are rated at a maximum of 100 psi.
In their perspective of safety, a tubing system regardless of it age should be able to conform to the original pressure testing standards or it is not safe to be used anyway.

 Pressure system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pressure system is a region of the Earth's atmosphere where air pressure is unusually high or low.
The steepness of the pressure gradient can be observed according to the density of isobars, or lines on the map at which pressure is equal.
Due to the Coriolis effect, low-pressure systems often develop cyclonic properties: in the northern hemisphere, winds around the system move counterclockwise, and in the southern hemisphere they move clockwise.

 Human Circulatory System - Blood Pressure   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Blood pressure is often written and referred to as a fraction with the systolic pressure in the numerator and diastolic pressure in the denominator, e.g., 120/80.
The high pressure in the circulatory system causes capillaries to break, which in turn damages the tissues where the capillaries are located.
For example, high pressure in the eyes may cause blindness, high pressure in the kidneys may cause the kidneys to fail, and high pressure in the brain may cause a stroke.
