In the other hand the number of men eating five portions of fruit and vegie was more fluctuative as it showed stagnancy in three first years of the period by approximately 15% before rose significantly reaching around 27% in 2006 and 2007. However, It declined slightly at the end of the year by about 2%.
The children which was the lowest number of group eating five portion of fruits showed significant increase by 10% in 2004 after three years of being stagnant. It climbed to 25% in 2007 and fell down to around 23% a year after.
