The chart shows the information about salt intake in the US in 2000
The bar chart compares the amount of salt consumed by Americans in different age groups in 2000.
Overall, it is clear from the chart that men had a higher salt intake than women in all age groups. Additionally, except for children under 6 and females over 60, most people consumed significantly more salt than the recommended adult intake.
The amount of salt consumed by men in their twenties and thirties was the highest, at 4500 mg, which was slightly higher than the figures for 12-19 year-olds and over-60 year-olds, at 3500 mg. Meanwhile, males aged 6-11 and 40-60 years-old consumed 4000 mg of salt, which was roughly double the intake of boys under 6.
Regarding females, those aged under 6 consumed approximately 1200mg, while those aged between 6 and 60 consumed nearly three times that figure, at around 3000 mg. Women over 60 were the only group that consumed the recommended amount of salt, at 2500 mg.
