The table below illustrates weekly consumption by age group of dairy products in a European country. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The table illustrates how much dairy products,

milk

and

butter

, are consumed by four

age

groups

in countries in Europe.

Overall

, it can be seen that

milk

and

butter

consumption

increases with

age

increment, except for

butter

usage for

seniors

. It

also

is clear that younger

groups

, less than 25

years

, consume more full-fat products than other

groups

do. In terms of

milk

, younger

people

, less than 25

years

, drink 1200 cc of

milk

weekly, which is the lowest among all

groups

, and more than a

half

prefer full fat to low fat.

This

pattern is reversed for

seniors

who consume 700 ccs more

milk

than younger

people

, and two-thirds prefer low-fat

milk

. The

consumption

of

milk

for the other two

groups

, 26 to 45 and 45 to 65 is almost similar 1650 and 1670 respectively.

Although

more than two-thirds of the 26 to 45

group

drink low-fat,

this

number is slightly more than

half

for the 45 to 65

group

. Regarding

butter

, its

consumption

increases with

age

increment, except for

seniors

.

people

younger than 25

years

eat 12

grams

of

butter

weekly which is just seven

grams

less than the next

age

group

26 to 45

years

.

However

, their interest patterns in fat content are reversed since 60 per cent of the young

group

like full fat compared to 40 per cent in the other

group

. The middle-aged

group

and

seniors

have almost similar tastes in fat,

half

prefer low-fat

butter

. The only difference is the proportion of

consumption

as

seniors

eat

butter

half

of the middle

age

people

do, at 30

grams

and 60

grams

respectively.
