Britain declares childhood obesity a “National Crisis”

The stories come from the latest figures on children’s weight in England published by the NHS Information Centre for health and social care. Its report, based on measurements taken for the 2011/2012 school year, found that, in reception, more than a fifth of children (22.6%) measured were either overweight or obese. By year 6, the final year of primary school, this proportion had increased to just over one in three (33.9%).
