The NCMP and Child Obesity Profile displays prevalence of obesity, severe obesity, overweight, healthy weight and underweight at local authority (LA), regional and national level over time; for children in Reception (aged 4 to 5 years) and Year 6 (aged 10 to 11 years).
Users can compare LA data by region or between ‘The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) nearest neighbours’ (LAs with similar characteristics).
The tool also presents inequalities in obesity prevalence by sex, deprivation quintile and ethnic group by LA. The profile also includes child obesity slope index of inequality (SII) for each of the 9 English regions and England.
A new domain (NCMP small area data) has been added to this profile to display trend data on the prevalence of excess weight (overweight including obesity) and obesity for Middle Super Output Areas (MSOAs), Electoral Wards, Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG), local authorities, and England. The NCMP small area data will be updated to include the 2018/19 data in spring 2020.
