The bar chart compares the difference between men and women in terms of eating five or more piece of fruit and vegetables every single day in the UK. Units are given in age groups.
Overall, it is clear that eating the highest proportion of fruit and vegetables was a popular category between both 55-64 aged men and women while the reverse is true for the young generation. Interestingly, both gender (75 aged) consumed the same portions of food.
Starting with males, eating edibles per day between men 55-64 aged comes on top of the list with roughly 33%, whereas a 65-74-year-old of them accepted sufficient nourishment, displaying significant percentages (25%). Whilst the similar shares of food were consumed by men aged from 35 to 54 with just over 20%, 25% of food was remarkably allocated by 75-year-old. However, males 19-24 and 25-34 aged did not receive enough nutrients, recording the lowest index, 15% on the former age group and approximately 20% of them on the latter.
As for women, the figures were varied. Females 55-64 aged ingested a high level of fruits and vegetables, accounting for proportions 35%. Although the next age category—64-74 was popular in the terms of consuming food, constituting just over 30%, 45-54 aged females consume nearly 27% of nutrients. Moreover, both age groups:75 and 35-44 had the identical figures, just 25%. Ultimately, the consumption was not that significant between young women, however, with well over 20% and 15% respectively.
