This bar chart shows the weight of salt intake of men and women in various age groups in a country in Europe in 2019. Overall, it can be clearly seen that the amount of salt intake of men was always higher than that of women. Furthermore, the difference between the salt intake of men and women rose steadily from approximately 100 milligrams in ages 2-5 to well over 1,100 milligrams in ages 70 or more.
In ages 2-5, men consumed about 1,500 milligrams of salt while women consumed a little less at approximately 1,400 milligrams. As age increases, the amount of salt consumed by both men and women rose significantly; furthermore, not only did the highest amount of salt intake hit a peak at 5,000 milligrams for men ages 30-39, it was also a little over two times the Recommended Daily Intake of 2,300 milligrams. Although the highest intake was almost four times the lowest intake, salt consumption in men fell slightly after ages 30-39. On the other hand, the intake of women peaked at approximately 3,500 milligrams in the age group of 30-39 and plummeted gently thereafter.
To sum up, the double bar graph shows the salt intake of various age groups and genders. Although almost all age groups and genders consumed at or above the Recommended Daily Intake, people aged 2 to 5 were still consuming less salt than the Recommended Daily Intake.
