The given bar chart compares the obesity rate of males and females who aged from 12-19 years old by ethnicity in the USA between 2004 and 2014.
From an overall perspective, it is obvious that all ethnicities experienced an upward trend of obesity in both genders.
Looking at the first chart in more detail, in 2004, 12% was recorded in the data for obesity rate in Non-Hispanic white boys, in comparison with Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic at 11% and 13%, respectively. In the following decade, the figure for obesity in Non-Hispanic White displayed a slight rise by 5% in 2014. By contrast, both Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic people nearly doubled to 20% and 27% in turn.
Turning to the data for obesity in girls, at the beginning, Non-Hispapic Black females recorded a superior obesity rate than males at 16% in 2004, then it underwent a significant growth by exactly 13% and ended the period at 29%. By contrast, Hispanic shared the similar data for boys at 12% before undergoing a more modest growth than males to 17% in the year 2014. Meanwhile, Non-Hispanic White exhibited the lowest figure at just 9%, which later saw a negligible increase to 14% in the final year.
