In England, 1 in 4 adults,1 and almost 1 in 4 children by the time they are 11 years old,2 are living with obesity (based on body mass index (BMI) measurements and classification). Furthermore, about two thirds of adults in England are estimated to be living with obesity or overweight, with an upward trend since 2015-16. For children living in the most deprived areas, prevalence of obesity is about twice as high compared with those living in the least deprived areas.2
