The picture detailed the proportion of residents who had five portions of fruits and vegetables in their meals daily delineated by gender from 8 consecutive years, from 2001 to 2008 in UK.
Overall, it is readily apparent that women’s eating fruits and vegetables frequency was the highest throughout the period, followed by men and finally children. The categories show the data fluctuations but the percentages of children and men were as the same level in the first three years.
Looking first in terms of the great similarity, all the figures tended to change steadily during the period. From 2001 to 2006, the number of people concluded five portions of fruits and vegetables in their diet per day gradually increased, with around 3%-5% for all genders each year. The percentages of women and men reached the peak in 2006, as 35% and about 27%, respectively.
In 2007, despite the decrease in women and men, the percentage of kids sharply rise to 27% and that was the year the number of children became highest in the whole process.
However, the proportion dropped under 25% in the next year.
