The most recent NHS Publication regarding Obesity in the UK makes for worrying reading. The ‘headlines’ are these…
- There were 10, 660 hospital admissions directly attributable to obesity
- 29% of adults are classified as obese
- 20% of Year 6 children are classified as obese (in less affluent areas the prevalence of obesity is double than the more affluent ones)

I’ve attached a few below…. I hope there are a few you can use.
