The chart shares the proportion of individuals who ate five portions of fruits and vegetables each day in the UK between 2001 and 2008.
Overall, while women tend more towards healthy nutrition, children did not like eating these nutrients as much, and the rate of men’s nutrition was at the average level compared to others during the period.
In 2001, women started with the highest indicators, almost 23%, and this percentage gradually increased over the period, hitting the highest point at 35% in 2006. Although it started decreasing, at the end of the period, the proportion declined to just above 30%.
Children who ate useful nutrients started with the lowest indicators, around 13%, but since 2004, this rate increased rapidly and reached almost 18%. Then this figure witnessed a growing tendency and reached a high of above 25% in 2007, even though it then dropped toward the end of the period and reached just under 25%.
The average proportion of this data, which is related to men’s diet, commenced at almost 18%. This figure remained stable until 2004, and in that year, it showed just above 20%. After that, this percentage surged to almost 28%, which was a peak. Then this rate declined towards the end, like the other two categories, and showed almost 27%.
