The bar
graph shows percentage of the people in the UK who consume more than 5 portions
of fruits per day over 8 years of period
Over
all, it is clear that there has been increase in fruit consumption in all three
categories of the UK population initially. Throughout the period, it is shown
that a largest proportion of men has fruit consumption of more than 5 portions
per day, followed by women then children. The proportion of male and female
adult population has reached its peak in 2006 with the percentage of
approximately 34% and 27% respectively. On the other hand, the proportion of
children with more fruit consumption continued to rise, reaching its climax
with percentage of roughly 25%.
Looking
at the bar graph more closely, percentage of men shows fairly constant rise of
about 3 percentage points each year until it reaches its highest point in 2006,
and from then, there was a constant decline of similar percentage point. On the
other hand, proportion of women remained fairly constant from year 2001 to 2003
with around 17%, however; it showed great rise in proportion until 2006,
reaching its peak at around 27%. The percentage remained through the year 2007,
then declined by about 2 percentage points in 2008. Lastly, proportion of
children remained constant with women population through 2001 to 2003, then
showed constantly increasing pattern until 2007, with percentage of roughly
25%, then reduced by approximately 2 percentage points in 2008. |
