The bar chart compares the rate of Malaysia’s residents who were frequently involved in physical exercise in terms of gender in 2010
Upon analyzing the data, it is evident that the majority of females aged 25 to more than 65 had a higher percentage than males. Moreover, the gap between two individuals expands at the middle-aged type and then narrows when coming close to the elderly.
To begin with, the proportion of male Malaysians fluctuated when they grew up, with the highest percentage belonging to youngsters in the age range of 15 to 24, with just over half. The tendency to exercise among men dropped substantially when they came to the age of 25 and below 44, representing around 40 percent. Following that, Malaysia witnessed a steady rise when Malaysian men got older, from nearly 40 percent to over 45 percent, via a climb of approximately 3 percent in each age group.
To continue with, the opposite gender shows an upward trend from 15 to 44 years old, which makes the disparity between the two figures larger and dramatically falls when they get older than 65 years old. Specifically, the percentage of women who usually work out climbed from around 47 percent when they were under 24 years old to 49 percent and then over half when they were around 35 to 44 years old. The next two age groups have the same pattern, with around 52 percent. When Malaysian women become elderly, their rate drops to only 46 percent.
