8.5.4 Prevalence of Overweight and Obesity in Children
8.5.4.1 National Child Measurement Programme
Primary school children have their heights and weights measured as part of the National
Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) in reception year (year R aged 4 to 5 years)
and in year 6 (aged 10 to 11 years). Measurements have been taken for four years for
year 6 children, but Hull started measuring year 6 children one year earlier than the start
of the NCMP. Furthermore, reception year children have been measured in Hull
considerably longer than the start of the NCMP with measurements taken since the
1999/2000 school year. Measurements were taken by school nurses, and data
collected under the NCMP from Hull was recorded on the Child Health System (CHS)
until 2007/2008 and then on SystmOne. Extracts from these systems forms the basis of
the analyses below, but a more detailed report on childhood obesity is available at
www.hullpublichealth.org.
