The bar chart compares the amount of salt consumed by Americans across different age ranges in the year 2000.
Overall, American men consumed significantly more salt than their female counterparts. We can also see that, apart from children under 6 years old, the levels of salt intake for the majority of Americans were much higher than the recommended amount for an average adult each day.
In 2000, American males aged between 20 and 39 consumed 4.500 milligrams of salt per day, which was the highest figure shown in the chart. Meanwhile, men who fell into the 12-19 and 40-60 age group consumed 500 milligrams less salt. Interestingly enough, the figures for women between the ages of 6 and 60 were almost the same, at about 3.000 milligrams each day, which was slightly lower than the recommended amount for an adult in the US.
Looking at the consumption of salt for the under-6s, the youngest age cohort, the amount consumed by boys was twice as high as that of girls, at over 2.000 and 1000 milligrams respectively. At the other end of the scale, the figures for men and women over 60 were 3.5000 and 2.500 milligrams, higher than the national average.
