Obesity
Levels of obesity in England are increasing. A recent Health Survey for England showed that nearly 1 in 4 adults, and over 1 in 10 children aged between two and ten years, are obese.
This makes obesity a significant burden on the NHS as it can have a severe impact on people’s health, increasing the risk of type-2 diabetes, some cancers, and heart and liver disease.
