How healthy are our children? New evidence from the latest Health Survey for England

Most children in England are not obese or overweight, meet the government’s recommended physical activity targets, don’t smoke or drink and think healthy food is enjoyable – although they’re not reaching the ‘five a day’ target – according to the latest Health Survey for England (HSE).

The annual survey, conducted in 2007 by researchers at UCL (University College London) and the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) and funded by The NHS Information Centre, has its latest results published today. It draws on data from interviews and measurements of thousands of people representative of the whole population.

The HSE 2007 had a particular focus on children, including data from over 7,500 2-15 year olds. Those old enough were interviewed about their knowledge and attitudes concerning key aspects of lifestyle including smoking, drinking, eating and physical activity.

The survey also collected data about the impact of smokefree legislation brought in on 1st July 2007. This indicates that although the number of adults and children smoking had not decreased at this early stage, there were some positive initial signs of a reduction in cigarette consumption and in children’s exposure to smoke.
