The given bar chart provides information about the proportion of UK residents who ate the recommended daily amount of fruit and vegetables in three years (2002, 2006 and 2010).
Overall, it is evident that it was women who consumed the largest amount of fruit and vegetables in all measured years, while the opposite was true for children. Notably, the figures for males, females and children witnessed quite a similar trend, upward in the first four years and downward in the four following years.
In 2002, only 11% of British children consumed the recommended daily intake of fruit and vegetables. The data for men was exactly double that for children, with 22% and slightly lower than that for women, with 25%. After 4 years, the percentage of women experienced the most significant growth, with the figure rising to 32%, compared to modest increase of the data for men and children, reaching 28% and 16% respectively.
In 2010, the proportion of males, females, and kids all experienced a slight decline. The figure for women saw the most remarkable drop, decreasing by 5%. Meanwhile, that of men and children fell by 4% and 2% respectively. Consequently, the percentage rank of the three types of UK population who took in the recommended daily amount of fruit and vegetables remained unchanged throughout the period.
