The bar chart given illustrates data about the proportion of people in Australia who were obese in 4 separate years 1980, 1990, 2000, and 2010.
Looking at the chart, it is immediately clear that the rate of overweight males was higher than females in each year. Meanwhile, the percentage of both men and women who were obese increased gradually over the period shown. Another key feature is that the highest figure of the chart was recorded in the proportion of overweight males.
In 1980, the proportion of overweight males registered approximately 47%. This figure rose dramatically from merely over 50% in the year 1990 to exactly 70% in 2000 before this rate decreased minimally to around nearly 68% in 2010.
In the first year examined, exactly 30% was the percentage of overweight women in Australia. This figure increased gradually, standing at 40% in 1990 prior to this rate remained unchanged at 50% by the last year studied.
