One In Three Ten To 11-Year-Olds Are Overweight, Says The NHS Information Centre, UK
Nearly one in three children in Year 6 of primary school is overweight or
obese, according to a report out yesterday from The NHS
Information Centre.
In one of the biggest studies of its kind to be carried out anywhere in the
world, the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) measured the weight
of children in reception class (typically aged four to five years) and Year
6 (aged ten to 11 years) in primary schools in England.
It found that:
- almost one in four children measured in reception year were overweight
or obese
- in Year 6, this rate was nearly one in three
- boys were significantly more likely to be obese than girls in both age
groups.
- obesity levels were highest in urban and deprived areas.
The NCMP was established in 2005 as part of government's strategy to tackle
the continuing rise in excess weight in children. In 2006/07, it included
valid measurements for 876,416 children. This represents an 80 per cent
participation rate, compared to 48 per cent in 2005/06.
Because of the low response in 2005/06, it has not been possible to compare
the results between the two years. However, year-on-year analysis should be
possible in the future when participation rates have stabilised and changes
in prevalence due to changes in participation rates can be discounted.
The NHS Information Centre co-ordinated the collection and analysis of data,
using data supplied locally by primary care trusts with the co-operation of
local schools.
The NHS Information Centre's chief executive Tim Straughan said:
"The study shows the extent of the obesity problem facing an entire
generation of our children.
"It is of huge concern that one in three children in Year 6 is overweight or
obese. It is even more worrying since the figures presented in our report
are, if anything, likely to be an under-estimate. This is because
participation in the programme is voluntary and overweight or obese children
may be more likely not to take part.
"The study draws on information gathered through one of the biggest
programmes of its type anywhere in the world and provides comprehensive data
on childhood obesity at local level
"The report is an excellent basis for analysing, interpreting and tracking
childhood obesity in years to come. It supports frontline staff in their
efforts to increase the numbers of children with a healthy weight by
highlighting the extent to which obesity is a problem and by identifying the
social groups and geographical areas which are most likely to be affected."
