Child obesity

You can now view child obesity data for England at Local Authority, PCT and Middle Super Output Area (smaller population groups of around 7200) in the e-atlases available from the National Obesity Observatory (NOO). The maps use data from the National Child Measurement Programme and allow for comparison of obesity indictors with deprivation scores, amongst other indicators. NOO also provides a useful set of Powerpoint slides with clear graphics and charts for presenting child and adult obesity information. There are also a couple of surveys of the relationship between obesity and ethnicity and mental health.
