The bar chart compares the proportions of Australian obese males and females from 1980 to 2010.
As can be seen from the chart, both of the two overweight genders experienced an upward trend during the period shown. Additionally, there was a bigger number of men suffered from obesity in comparison with that of women.
Looking at the graph in detail, in 1980, nearly half of males and one-third of females weighed more than the average. After a decade, there was a slight rise of almost 10% in each obese sex; accounted for about 55% of men and exact 40% of women in total. In the next ten years, the overweight men went up significantly and hit the highest point, at 70% before falling back to approximately 68% in 2010. At the same time, the figure for obese women witnessed an increase by 10% in 2000, then stabilized at five in ten until the end of the surveyed period.
