North West Public Health Observatory: Healthy Weight Indicators
- Abstract
-
Local profiles for the North West Children and Adults' Healthy Weight Indicators. This online tool brings together data on key themes such as food and diet, physical activity, breastfeeding and other related topics that have, or are considered to have, an established relationship to weight. The profiles display each local authority's indicator values, as well as the North West and England averages and interquartile range of North West local authority values for comparison purposes. Indicators that are significantly better or worse (at the 95% confidence limit) are also highlighted.
