The table compares weekly consumption of milk and butter by different age groups in a European country, with figures further divided into full-fat and low-fat categories.
Overall, milk consumption rose steadily with age, whereas butter intake reached a peak among middle-aged adults. Another clear pattern is the gradual shift from full-fat to low-fat products, although the trend fluctuated slightly in certain groups.
People under 25 consumed the least milk, at 1200 ml per week, while those aged 65 and above drank the most, at 1900 ml. The figures for the 26-44 and 45-64 groups were similar, around 1650 ml. In terms of milk type, full-fat milk was preferred by 59% of the youngest group but only 20% of 26-44-year-olds. The share then rose to 45% in the 45-64 group before dropping again to 30% among the elderly.
By contrast, butter consumption was lowest in the under-25s (12 g) and highest in the 45-64 group (60 g), before falling to 30 g in the oldest group. A similar age-related fluctuation appeared in preferences: full-fat butter was chosen by 60% of the youngest, dipped to 38% in the next group, and then stabilised at around half among older people.
