Confidence limits around prevalenceat different levels of analysis
Proportion of areas with obesity prevalence significantly different (higher/lower) to England
Methods for increasing robustness of NCMP analysis for small populations • Combine NCMP data from different years • example: NOO MSOA e-atlas • Combine small geographic areas into larger population groups/ neighbourhoods • example: combine 5 MSOAs into neighbourhood • Combine populations with similar characteristics • example: ONS Area Classification
ONS Area Classification http://www.maptube.org/map.aspx?mapid=831
ONS Area Classification http://www.noo.org.uk/NCMP/National_report
ONS Area Classification Prevalence of obesity (with 95% confidence limits) among children in Year 6 by ONS Area Classification supergroup and region, NCMP 2009/10
Sharing NCMP results with schools What is done locally and how can NOO help in future?
