Data and reports
Information on childhood and adult obesity rates can be found in the 'starting well' and 'living well' sections of our Health and Social Care Maps.
We have produced an obesity health needs assessment (PDF, 5.8 MB), and a childhood weight health needs assessment for Kent.
The following analysis is of local childhood weight data gathered through the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP):
- We have produced an analytical report using National Child Measurement Programme data for the 2019/20 academic year, including in-depth inequality and longer term trend analyses.
- Analysis of the drivers of excess weight and obesogenic environment.
We have produced literature reviews that examine evidence for engaging with minority groups in weight management programmes, and examining the relationship between weight and unemployment.
We have also produced an analysis of the overlap between obesity, alcohol and smoking (PDF, 636.3 KB).
Additionally we have analysed uptake of the 2016 Change4Life local campaign (PDF, 908.9 KB) and the 2016 Change4Life Sugar Smart campaign (PDF, 1.1 MB) in Kent.
Also, we have analysed the adult lifestyle weight management and family weight management (Tier 2) programmes commissioned by Kent County Council.
