The chart illustrates the male and female proportions in the UK in 2006 by age group related to the number of fruits and vegetable day portions they should eat based on WHO recommendations. Overall, the bar shows curve bell situations which means older people eat more portions of fruit and vegetables each day, and females eat more than males.
People at a young age eat fruits and vegetables less than older age. In 19-24 age, people only eat 15% to 17%. The bar stabilized to growth and continued to peak in the 55-64 age group showing 33% to 35% age group eats fruits and vegetables. However, the situation declines slowly, and at 75 years old only 25% of their age consume fruits and vegetables in five or more portions.
Based on a gender perspective, females consume fruits and vegetables more than males. Starting with the age group 19-24, females lead for the consumption at 17% slightly higher than males only at 15%. The conditions continued that females were always the highest consumers than males until 65-74 years old with the shown percentage of females consuming at 29% and males only at 26%. In contrast, when they are 75 age years old, the consumption percentage between females and males is the same at 25%.
