Welcome to the local profiles for the North West Children and Adults' Healthy Weight Indicators. This online tool brings together data on key themes such as food and diet, physical activity, breastfeeding and other related topics that have, or are considered to have, an established relationship to weight.

The profiles display each local authority's indicator values, as well as the North West and England averages and interquartile range of North West local authority values for comparison purposes. Indicators that are significantly better or worse (at the 95% confidence limit) are also highlighted. Additional bar charts illustrate the local authority's position in the North West for each indicator.

The information provided will support a range of local functions including local joint strategic needs assessment, priority setting, local area agreements, local delivery plans, commissioning and the effective targeting of resources, development and subsequent implementation of policies and programmes aimed at meeting the health and social needs and improving the health and wellbeing of the North West population.
