The data displays the information about the activity of men and women of different age groups from New Zealand who engaged in regular physical activity in 2008.
Overall, this chart provides several important features. The first one, despite starting with a little difference in percentage, eventually, both groups end up being roughly on the same level in terms of exercising. Secondly, it is notable that the tendency of men’s and women’s activity is different – females tend to be more active during the times when men have almost the lowest level of activity.
To begin with, initially men prevailed over women – from age 14 to 23 the difference is about 5 %. However, later we can observe another tendency – women take over, and from 34 to 43 and 44 to 53 they take the leading positions with peaking numbers of 53.1% and 54,2% accordindly, while men have the lowest results – 38.8% and 42.9% respectively. Despite this significant dip from men’s side, later we can notice that till the end of the bar chart they appear to have approximately the same level of physical activity. From 64 and above, reportedly 47.2% of men engage in physical activity, whereas there are 48.1% of women who do the same thing – the difference is 0.9%. Therefore, in spite of starting with the higher percentage, men become more inactive till the age of 64 and above – by around 4%, while women slighly increase their results – by roughly 1.5%.
