Obesity
Mr. Burstow:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what percentage of women were classified as obese in (a) England and (b) each region in each year since 1990, broken down by socio-economic group. [216374]
23 Feb 2005 : Column 693W
Miss Melanie Johnson:
Information is not available in exactly the form requested. Figures available from the health survey for England are shown in the tables. The tables give, for England, the percentage of women who are obese (with a body mass index over 30) from 1991, when the health survey began, to 2003 by social class
23 Feb 2005 : Column 694W
and for the period 1998 to 2003 by Government office region. Figures prior to 1998 are not available by Government office region. The samples sizes available in the health survey do not allow robust estimates to be calculated for each region broken down by social/economic status.

(13)The sample sizes in 1991 and 1992 were smaller than in subsequent years and for reporting purposes the estimates from both years were combined. In addition, the figures for social classes I and II, and IV and V were combined.
(14)In these years, the focus was on special groups such as children, ethnic minorities and older people. The sample for the special groups was boosted and the sample for the general population correspondingly halved to about 8,000 adults. The figures are based on the general population sample.
