Help text: This is the rate of finished admission episodes with a primary diagnosis of obesity per 100,000 female population.

Admissions per 100,000 population are age standardised using the European Standard Population. Population data are taken from Office for National Statistics resident population estimates.

England total may include a small number of admissions for persons of no fixed abode. This data excludes persons resident outside of England. No district council data is available.
