17%.
 The oldest group, 44-53, slowly rose from 5% to about 7%.

The line graph compares gym attendance among European citizens across four
different age categories over a two-decade period commencing 1990.

Overall, it is evident that gym participation was on the rise among all age groups
during the period surveyed, though by varying degrees. Notably, the younger
age groups showed the most significant variance in gym attendance, as opposed
to the older groups which reported consistently lower rates of gym usage.

In 1990, only about 5% of those aged 44-53 frequented the gym, which saw a
slight but steady increase, reaching approximately 7% by 2010. By comparison,
the figure for the 18-23 age bracket started at around 15% and peaked at just
precisely 25% in 2006 before a sharp decline to about 17% by the end of the
period.

Data for the second youngest age group (24-33) experienced a gradual increase
from above 15% to roughly 22% in 1994. After slightly decreasing over the next
two years, it made a quick recovery, passing the 25% mark in 2010. Conversely,
the 34-43 demographic maintained a consistent gym attendance rate, hovering
around 8% throughout the 20 years, with only minor fluctuations.
