The chart below shows the percentage of men and women who were overweight in Australia between 1980 and 2010.

________________________________________________________________________________

The bar chart compares the proportions of overweight males and females in Australia in a span of 30 years.

Generally speaking, men’s overweight percentage was always much higher than that of women in any given year (1980, 1990, 2000 or 2010).

In terms of overweigh rates in men, it started from 47% in 1980 and climbed to 53% ten years later. And then, there was an even sharper rise by 15% in 2000. That was the highest point of men’s overweight proportion: 68%. In other words, two out of three men in Australia could be categorized as an obese person. During the final ten years of the period, i.e. from 2000 to 2010, the percentage dropped minimally to 65%.

Turning to females, they underwent a similar growth pattern throughout the period, though at a much lower level. It began from just 27% in 1980, and it jumped dramatically to 36% in 1990 and continued to rise equally drastically to almost 50% in 2000. Interestingly, this highest point of 49% was kept unchanged ten years later.

To conclude, obesity was a constant problem facing Australian men and women during the 1980-2010 period. While both genders went through a similar trend of growth, a much higher percentage of males were troubled with this physical disease.
