of different age groups in the UK that consume five or more portions of fruits
and vegetables
per day in 2006. This

represents the number of people meeting WHO's daily fruit and veggies intake recommendation.

, for both men and women, the figures gradually rise from one group to another, reaching a peak at 55-64 years and decreasing thereafter
again.
For men, the largest percentage of them (32%) consuming over five portions of fruits
and vegetables
are in their mid-
50s and mid-
60s. This
is followed by those aged between 65-74 where 27% of them meet WHO's recommended intake amount. Surprisingly, the youngest males
(19-24) have the lowest proportion of those that eat more fruits
