This report presents analysis of the first four years of National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) data, and highlights any statistically significant differences that can be detected across survey years in the body mass index (BMI) of English children aged 4–5 and 10–11 years. It provides an update on the analysis presented in 2010. Prevalence of obesity and mean BMI (adjusted for age) have been used to summarise the BMI of the child population by school year and sex. Analysis has also been conducted to examine change across the BMI distribution, by level of socioeconomic deprivation, and by ethnic group. Published October 2011.
