overweight was 14.7%, 15.2% and 14.3% for the 2007/08, 2008/09 and 2009/10 school
years respectively, and the percentages obese were 11.8%, 10.3% and 11.5%
respectively. Therefore, the targets for year R children have not been achieved. With
year-on-year random variation, it is difficult to describe the recent trend, but the
prevalence of overweight appears to have decreased, but the prevalence of obesity has
remained similar. For year 6 children, the prevalence of overweight was 15.4%, 14.0%
and 13.9% or the 2007/08, 2008/09 and 2009/10 school years respectively, so the target
was achieved for 2008/09 but not for the most recent school year 2009/10. The
prevalence of obesity in year 6 children was 22.3%, 21.5% and 20.7% respectively so
the targets were not achieved.
Prior to new Government in May 2010, there was also a Local Area Agreement (LAA)
stretch (ONE HULL 2009) target of 650 adults losing 5% or more of their body weight
and maintaining it for 12 weeks after completing a local weight management intervention
programme over a two year period (325 per year). In the first three quarters of the first
year 2008/2009, 144 adults have achieved this target with an anticipated 52 achieving
this target in the final quarter. Therefore, at that time there was some way to go to
achieve the total of 650 adults over the two year period. However, the target was
cumulative, and a number of additional weight loss programmes started subsequently
including the single point of access for obesity (which has now discontinued). As a
result, the target and the stretch target were both achieved.
However, following the change in the government in May 2010, new outcomes are now
under consultation (see section 3.3.6.2 on page 52). Obesity in children and adults are
outcomes under consultation, but they are phased in terms of the percentages who are
within the healthy weight category, rather than in the obese category. In which case, the
targets would need to be revised in terms of the percentages of children and adults
within the healthy weight category.
