The bar chart illustrates the comparison of percentages between men and women who consumed five or more portions of fruits and vegetables each day which was recommended by WHO in different groups of age in the UK in 2006.
From an overall perspective, the consumption of people aged 55-64 accounted for the highest proportion in total, whereas the lowest percentage belonged to the youngest age group (19-24). Besides, it is clear that females have a tendency to consume more WHO's recommended fruits and vegetables than males may be due to cosmetic effects except for the oldest age group -75 which shared the same percentage.
When it comes to the four first groups of age examined: under 24 up to 54, the percentage of female consumption of the WHO recommended daily intake of fruits and vegetables was slightly higher than their counterpart, just around 3%. People aged 19-24 occupied the lowest proportion which was 15% with males and a bit higher than that of females with about 17%. This figure increased slightly in both males and females in the three next age groups up to 27% for women and 23% for men in the age of 45-54.
The highest percentage of men and women who consumed daily recommended fruits and vegetable intake from the group aged 55-64, with 32% and approximately 35% respectively. However, the signs of decline in the consumption of daily recommended fruits and vegetables intake can be seen in the figure for both males and females aged 65-74 group and 75 and above which were 27% for males and roughly 30% for females in 55-64 age group, and exactly 25% for both in the last age group examined.
