The graph shows information on the kinds of magazines sold by a company in 1975, 1995 and 2015.
Overall, sport magazine was the most popular type in three years while fashion was recorded with the least proportion except 1975.
Looking in more detail in 2015, it is obvious that above two-fifth magazines consumed were about sports, roughly twice as much as the number of health. In addition, 10 percent of food magazines were sold in 2015 whereas fashion magazines just accounted for a half of that proportion. In 1995, it shared the same pattern when sport magazines ranked first at about 36%. Magazines about other fields constituted 32% and the figures for food, fashion and health magazines ranged from 15 to 22 percent.
Regarding 1975, sport magazines were recorded with 32% while the number of food was only 10%. Moreover, the percentages of fashion, health and other kinds were around 25 percent.
