Below 60 would be considered a low diastolic range*.

Normal adult range:

90 to 120 systolic

60 to 80 diastolic

* Note:

Age is not actually a factor here. Only children have a variable range far outside the adult normal range. Adults of any age are expected to fall within the same range.
Also gender plays only a minor role in evaluating blood pressure. Females tend to be on the lower end of the healthy range; males tend to be on the higher end of the healthy range. But as an overall average, the range covers both genders.
Activity levels and eating habits have a far higher impact on blood pressure than age.

What does low diastolic blood pressure mean?

This is the resting pressure of the circulatory system. This is the pressure available in the circulatory system when the heart is at rest.There is either too little fluid in the vascular system or too few particles. You must have pressure even during the resting period for proper cell perfusion. This can also indicate a serious problem with the heart valves which help keep the resting system pressurized.
