Children and Adolescents The latest official population data for England, the National Child Measurement Programme 2012/13 (NCMP), estimates 22% of children in reception (aged 4-5 years) and 33% of children in year 6 (aged 10-11 years) are overweight or obese. In reception, 9% of children are estimated to be obese compared to 19% of children in year 6. The number of boys estimated to be overweight or obese is marginally more than girls in reception (23% boys and 21% girls) and year 6 (35% boys and 32% girls).
Children and Adolescents A strong positive relationship has been found between deprivation and obesity in children. Children attending schools in areas classified as the most deprived are more likely to be obese. In reception, 12% of children are estimated to be obese in the most deprived areas compared to 6% of children in the least deprived areas. Equally in year 6, 24% of children are estimated to be obese in the most deprived areas compared to 13% of children in the least deprived areas.
Proportion of boys and girls classed as being overweight or obese in England One in five children aged 4-5 years in England are overweight or obese One in three children aged 10-11 years in England are overweight or obese Data source: National Child Measurement Programme 2012/13
Adults The latest official population data, collected in 2012 by Public Health England, estimates 62% of adults in England (aged 16 and above) are overweight or obese, with 2.4% being severely obese. Men and women have a similar prevalence of obesity (25% men and 26% women) but men are more likely to be overweight (42% men and 32% women). A higher percentage of women are severely obese compared to men (1.5% men and 3.5% women).
Proportion of men and women classed as being overweight or obese in England More than 6 out of 10 men in England are overweight or obese (66.5%) More than 5 out of 10 women in England are overweight or obese (57.8%) Data source: Health Survey for England 2012
Not just a matter of eating less * ‘Low’ defined as intakes less than the Lower Reference Nutrient Intake (LRNI) Source: Derived from summary of findings from the NDNS Rolling Programme, Years 1,2,3 and 4 (combined) (2008/09-2011/12)
Sugar Lots of recent and widely reported concern about sugar consumption, particularly in young people. In the UK, we consume too much added sugars, and this has led to calls for us to reduce our intake. Current UK recommendations for sugar in the UK refer to non-milk extrinsic sugars (NMES) which are similar to free sugars but do not equate exactly. Free sugars are sugars added to foods by the manufacturer, cook or consumer, plus sugars present naturally in honey, syrups and unsweetened fruit juices. NMES also includes 50% of the fruit sugars from dried, stewed or canned fruit within the definition.
What does intake of NMES at 5% of total energy intake look like?
Active learning – fibre line up! • Choose one of the food images • Consider how much fibre the food contains per 100g • Line up at the front of the room in order of fibre content – highest to lowest • Were you right? • Discussion point - does anything surprise you?

Average of 33g fibre per day • Consistent with macronutrient recommendations and eatwell plate • Very healthy diet – very few high fat/sugar foods (as meals or snacks) • Would require some simple home cooking from scratch every day (one meal included jarred sauce) • Following a healthy diet based on starchy foods and including plenty of fruit and vegetables means the draft recommendation of 30g AOAC fibre/day for adults could be met • This diet is a long way away from current dietary patterns and would require significant changes to behaviour Source: New Frontiers in Fibre: BNF Conference Sara Stanner, BNF
