Question: The chart below gives information about European people of different age group went to gym once a month or more between 1990 and 2010.
ANSWER:
The line graph delineates the proportion of European residents who worked out at the gym at least once a month, categorized into age cohorts, from 1990 to 2010. Overall, gyms welcomed more members in all brackets over the given years. Additionally, the most dramatic increase was witnessed in the 18 to 24 year olds. Moreover, the share of gym-goers decreased with age.
Regarding the two youngest cohorts, nearly one-tenth of people in the 18 to 24 age group went to gym in 1990, after which it surged remarkably to nearly 60% by 2006, before fluctuating around this level in the following four years. Moreover, the percentage of residents aged 25 to 34 began at a similar level as that of the youngest cohort, followed by constant increments of approximately 10% every four years to reach 50% by 2010.
Concerning the older age groups, the figure for people aged 35 to 44 in 1990 was roughly 5% which almost quadrupled by 2002. Subsequently, it plateaued for 4 years and surged again to finish at nearly 40%. Finally, despite experiencing a significant increase from about 4% to around 22% from 1990 to 2010, the rate of gym-goers from 45 years old and over remained the lowest throughout.
