The given bar chart illustrates the amount of the UK people eating five or more portions of fruit and vegetables in both genders in different age groups in 2006. At the first glance, it is clear that most consumers belong to people in the 55 to 64 age range. Moreover, women preferred eating fruits and vegetables more than men at this time.
In terms of the cohort aged under 54, there were small gaps between the data of females and males in all distinct age groups. The youngest group, who were 19-24 years old, shared an approximate figure in both genders, at around 15%, while in the older group, the number of women were higher than men, with 23% and 20% respectively. Similarly, there was a slight difference in the 35-to-44 group, but to a lesser extent, at only 2%. The last age group in this range witnessed a larger gap that the number of female consumers were 5% as high as that of males.
Commencing 55 years old, the UK citizens tended to get more fiber and vitamins. The percentages of people consuming fruits and vegetables in the 55-to-64-year-old group were in top position in both males and females, with around 33% and 35%. The next age bracket who were aged from 65 to 74 years old resulted in a lower amount, which was no considerable distribution by genders, at about 30%. Additionally, people aged over 75 consumed the same proportion of fruits and vegetables in both genders, with exactly one quarter.
