Public health 5-19 - healthy weight and healthy eating

In Cumbria 10.4% of Reception children are obese compared to 9.1% nationally

In Cumbria 25.9% of Reception children are overweight.

The Obesity figure increases to 20.1% in Year 6.

Childhood obesity and excess weight, are significant health issues for individual children, their families and public health. It can have serious implications for the physical and mental health of a child, which can then follow on into adulthood. The numbers of children who continue to have an unhealthy, and potentially dangerous, weight, is a national public health concern.

Obesity is also associated with poor psychological and emotional health, poor sleep, and many children experience bullying linked to their weight. Obese children are more likely to become obese adults and have a higher risk of morbidity, disability and premature mortality in adulthood.
