The bar chart illustrates the proportion of Australian men and women who were overweight in Australia between the years 1980 and 2010.
Overall, the percentage of overweight males was higher than the corresponding number of overweight females, while the figure of both genders had risen over the period.
In 1980, 40 percent of men in this country were overweight and this figure was increased to nearly 50 percent in the next 10 years. Although, this proportion reached a peak in 2000 of approximately 65 percent, it then slightly reduced to just over 60 percent in 2010.
In contrast, the percentage of overweight females is generally lower than the counterpart figure of males. However, there was a steep rising of the overweight females percentage from just over 30 percent to 45 percent between the years 1980 and 1990. There was a further significant amount of increase in the next 10 years while the proportion of overweight women was over 50 percent. This figure was kept the same until 2010.
