The line graph given compares four different age groups in terms of the percentage of European people who went to gyms once a month or more from 1990 to 2010.
Looking at the illustration, it is immediately evident that the 18-24 group recorded the highest figure in most years throughout the period, whereas the opposite was true for the 45 and over group. Additionally, all groups surveyed showed an overall upward trend.
In 1990, the percentage of the 25-34 group dominated the chart at around 8%, which was higher than that of the 18-24 group (about 7%). The 35-44 group ranked third at about 5%, while the 45 and over group came in last at around 3%. By 1998, the 18-24 group had overtaken the 25-34 group to become the largest group out of the four.
In 2010, despite a dip around 2008, the 18-24 group reached a peak of nearly 60%, which became the highest figure in the chart. The figures for the 25-34 group and the 35-44 group rose sharply to stand at nearly 50% and 40% respectively. Meanwhile, there was a slight growth in the percentage of the 45 and over group to just over 20%.
