A recent study sheds light on a troubling reality in North East Lincolnshire, with childhood obesity levels being notably higher than the national average. Both Reception and Year 6 children in the locality are impacted, highlighting a rising health concern. Local health departments are being called to counter this problem by implementing interventions aimed at promoting healthier behaviour amongst young inhabitants. The data also mirrors a wider North-South disparity, with regions in the north evidencing higher childhood obesity figures.
