Obesity in primary school age children in Year 6
(92)
Metric type
- Help text
- This is the percentage of children in year 6 who are obese, as shown by the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP). For the NCMP, PCTs coordinate with schools to weigh and measure all eligible children in Year 6 and Reception. PCTs must record height, weight, sex, date of birth, date of measurement, home postcode and ethnicity as well as school name for each child measured. PCTs then send these data to the NHS Information Centre (the IC). The IC checks the data and provides local authorities and PCTs with a final dataset of their results, and publishes a national report of key findings. This was previously reported as NI 55.
