The bar chart illustrates the percentage of women, men, and children in the UK who consumed more than five portions of vegetables and fish daily between 2011 and 2017.
Overall, women consistently accounted for the highest proportion of individuals meeting this dietary recommendation throughout the given period, while children represented the lowest percentage. The percentages for all three groups experienced some fluctuations over the years.
In 2011, approximately 27% of women adhered to this diet, compared to around 17% of men and just over 10% of children. These figures remained relatively stable until 2014, when the percentage of women peaked at 35%. A similar increase was observed among men, rising to nearly 27%, and among children, reaching 15%.
After 2014, the percentages showed a slight decline. By 2015, the figures for all groups dropped modestly, with women still leading at 32%, followed by men at around 23%, and children at 13%. In the subsequent years, the percentages fluctuated slightly but remained close to the 2015 levels.
In conclusion, women were the most likely to meet the dietary guideline, while children consistently had the lowest adherence. Despite some year-on-year variations, the general pattern showed only minor changes over the seven-year
