The bar chart compares the proportion of people who ate five portions of fruit and vegetables every day in the United Kingdom between 2001 and 2008. The data is given in percentages.
Overall, percentages of women were by far the largest every year; approximately more than 20 per cent. Then it was men – the proportion increased from 2001 to 2008 from under 20 per cent to over 25 per cent. Subsequently, children- their percentage rose dramatically( increased by about more than 10 per cent).
In detail, the women’s percentages stood at over 20 per cent in 2001 and went up steadily until 2006. In 2006 the indicator was at the lowest point – more than 30 per cent, but from 2006 to 2008 it decreased slowly ( went down to approximately 30 per cent). The men’s figure started at over 15 per cent and stayed stable until 2004. In 2004 the indicator grew considerably to a little lower than 30 per cent. Finally, between 2006 and 2008 the percentages of men fell gradually to lower than 25 per cent.
Additionally, children’s figure was the lowest, stood at higher than 10 per cent and stayed stable for 3 years. In 2004 the percentages rocketed to approximately 25 per cent in 2007(it was the highest point). Ultimately, from 2007 to 2008 the data declined to lower than 25 per cent.
