The table illustrates the information about the percentage of people from four divided age groups consuming milk and butter on a weekly daily basis in one particular European country.
Generally speaking, it is evident that the consumption of milk and butter increases as the age groups get older. While the highest quantity of milk is consumed by people aged over 65, the butter is consumed the most by the 45-65 age group.
In terms of milk consumption, people under the age of 25 consume about 1200 milliliters of milk per week, with 59% of them preferring full fat. The majority of people from the 26-45 age group favors low fat milk (80%), consuming about 1650 milliliters of milk weekly. Similarly, the 45-65 age group’s consumption of milk is not significantly different, with only the increase of 20 milliliter of milk weekly and preference for low fat (55%). Additionally, the elderly (65+) consume 1,900 ml of milk per week, and 70% of them prefer low fat milk.
With regards to butter, while the under 25 and 26-45 age group consume about under 20 grams weekly, the 45-65 age group has the highest intake at 60g, with an equal preference for both low fat and full fat butter. A similar balance in preference is experienced among the elderly (65+), who have the second highest consumption at 30g.
In conclusion, we could see that while younger people prefer full fat in both categories, the other age groups prefer low fat.
