Overall, women consistently accounted for the highest proportion of people following this dietary habit, while children made up the lowest percentage. The figures for all groups showed fluctuations over the period, with a notable peak in 2014.
In 2011, 27% of women consumed more than five portions daily, compared to 17% of men and 10% of children. These numbers remained relatively steady until 2014, when the percentage of women increased significantly to 35%. Similarly, men’s consumption rose to 27%, while children’s percentage reached 15%, marking the highest point for all groups.
