The bar chart compares the proportions of men and women in four age groups in Country P who did at least 150 minutes of exercise per week in 2025.
Overall, the likelihood of exercising regularly decreased with age for both genders. However, while men were more active than women in the two younger age groups, women overtook men from the age of 45.
Among adults aged 18 to 29, 55% of men exercised regularly, which was 7 percentage points higher than the figure for women, at 48%. In the 30–44 age group, both figures were lower, at 45% for men and 40% for women, so the gap between the two genders narrowed slightly.
The pattern changed among older adults. In the 45–59 group, the proportion of women who exercised regularly rose slightly to 41%, overtaking the figure for men, which fell to 38%. The same was true of people aged 60 and over: 35% of women met the target, compared with only 30% of men, the lowest figure in the chart.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to enquire about adding members of my family to my health insurance policy. I have held an individual policy with your company for the past three years, and my policy number is HP-48217.
My wife and our two children, aged nine and four, recently moved to join me in the city after living with my parents in the countryside. As they will now be living here permanently, I would like them to be covered by the same policy, so that we can use the same clinics and hospitals.
Could you please tell me how much my monthly premium would increase if I added three family members? I would also like to know whether there is a waiting period before they can make a claim, and whether any medical check-ups are required before they join.
Finally, I would appreciate information about how to apply, including which documents I would need to send.
I look forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully, Vu Quoc Anh
