The bar chart demonstrated the proportion of different nutritional levels of Emirati Women divided by age. As can be seen from the table, after the age of thirty, there are more women being obese while the other part under this age is mostly normal.
At 40 years old and over, the percentage of women in the obese group is the highest with more than 50%, much higher than the figure of the overweight group. While the normal women took up 30% of the total number, only 1% were considered underweight. Nearly a half of women from 30 to 39 years old were obese, five times higher compared to the figure of the normal part.
By contrast, only the age group from 20 to 29 years old had the highest percentage of women at the healthy nutritional level, with above 30%. Both the overweight and obese groups shared second place with around 25%. Meanwhile, there were 18% of women at this age being underweight.
