The graph illustrates the percentage of the population who consumed the recommended amount of fruit and vegetables every four years between 2002 and 2010.
Overall, it is clear that women consistently had higher consumption levels than men and children throughout the period. Another noticeable feature is that all three groups experienced fluctuations over time.
In 2002, women had the highest proportion at around 25%, while men accounted for approximately 22%. Children had the lowest figure, at just over 10%. By 2006, the percentage for all groups increased, with women reaching a peak of about 32%, men rising to roughly 28%, and children to around 18%.
However, after 2006, the figures declined slightly. In 2010, women’s consumption fell to about 28%, while men and children decreased to approximately 26% and 16% respectively.
