The table chart compares the amount of dairy products, namely milk and butter, together with the proportions of full and low-fat types, consumed on a weekly basis by people of four age groups in an unspecified country in Europe. The units are measured in milliliters (ml) for milk and in grams (g) for butter.
Overall, the highest amount of milk in the group is consumed by the eldest age group while butter is eaten more by those aged 45 to 65. Notably, people belonging to the youngest age category eat more full-fat dairy products than low-fat ones, whereas the opposite scenario is observed in individuals whose ages are between 26 and 45.
As for milk, people aged 65 and above consume the largest amount – 1900 ml per week. Their diet mainly consists of low-fat milk (70%) whereas full-fat milk makes up a relatively smaller proportion. This is the case for people in the 26 to 45 and 45 to 65-year-old age groups as well (80% and 55%, respectively), whose weekly milk consumption figures are similar (about 1650 ml). However, the youngest age group shows the smallest amount of milk consumed every week with 1200 ml, and the highest share of low-fat milk (approximately 60%).
Regarding butter, the highest amount is consumed by people who are 45 to 65 years old (60 g), which is twice as much as the indication of their older counterparts. Remarkably, these two age categories illustrate almost identical figures in terms of the distribution of full-fat and low-fat butter in their diet, with both of those types accounting for roughly 50%. The youngest age group shows the least amount of 12 g with a ratio of 60% full-fat and 40% low-fat butter, while the reverse ratio is true for those aged 25 to 45.
