with the average for London and above the national average of 26.3%. 17<br />

• The level of obesity in <strong>Lambeth</strong> adults (18.6%) is lower than the England<br />

average (23.6%), probably as a result of the higher than average levels of<br />

physical activity in <strong>Lambeth</strong>. However obesity in children aged 10-11 is high<br />

with up to 1 in 4 obese.<br />

• 13.3% of children at reception level are obese in <strong>Lambeth</strong> compared with<br />

after hospital discharge. These rates are higher than the national and<br />

Hypertension<br />

• Uncontrolled hypertension increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes,<br />

stroke and vascular dementia. In December 2007 30,948 <strong>Lambeth</strong> residents<br />

were on the hypertension register, and of these, 12,795 (41%) were<br />

uncontrolled.<br />

• The prevalence of hypertension in <strong>Lambeth</strong> is approximately 9.9%<br />

compared with the modelled prevalence of 19.9% which means there could<br />

be up to 34,000 individuals in <strong>Lambeth</strong> who have hypertension but have not<br />

been detected and who are not being treated. However these estimates<br />

have to be used with caution and detection and treatment of hypertension is<br />

monitored through primary care.<br />
