National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) Data Review
The National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) in England measures the height and weight of over a million children aged 4-5 and 10-11 each year. This review focuses on NCMP data sets from 2017/18 to 2019/20 for Borough of Brent. The analysis includes BMI trends, gender distribution, and ethnicity summaries. The study aims to understand child obesity trends and resource allocation needs based on school and ward details.

National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) Data Review 16 December 2020
NCMP Introduction The National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) is a nationally mandated public health programme. NCMP measures the height and weight of over one- million children aged 4-5 and 10-11 years each year in primary schools in England NCMP is a key part of the government s approach to tackling child obesity. The NCMP dataset also includes deprivation data Public Health England provides strategic leadership and support for this programme, and local authorities deliver it. https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/nation al-child-measurement-programme
NCMP Data The Data 2 key data sets under review in this study NCMP 2017/18 = 7327 rows NCMP 2018/19 = 7336 rows NCMP 2019/20 = 7160 rows Data for Borough of Brent only Key fields Included in NCMP data: Gender Ethnicity summary Ethnicity detail BMI score BMI code School data School ward data Method & Analysis Using SPSS software, this is statistical analysis software which is especially useful for running the correlation elements of the project. Interim presentation to focus on BMI, School data and Ward data.
Objectives Key Objectives: Review BMI trends over the period Ensure detail by ward is included Ensure that school detail is included in order to understand where resources need to be allocated. Sections in Presentation Categorical Data BMI Data Conclusions Appendix
NCMP Gender Relatively even split between males and females in the sample. Gender is an important categorical variable when considering BMI data. 2019/20 gender data has same % split as previous year. Gender % 120 100 80 50.7 50.7 Percentage % 51.6 60 40 49.3 49.3 48.4 20 0 2017/18 2018/19 2019/20 Female Male
NCMP Ethnicity Summary Ethnicity summary Data quality issue as the not stated in 2018/19 is large (16.1% of population) versus only 3.2% in the previous year. This dropped to 10% in 2019/20, but remains high. This figure has not been adjusted as NCMP is official data and also any adjustment could equally be open to criticism. Ethnicity Summary % 35 30 28 24 25 Percentage % 19 20 15 11 10 10 7 5 0 0 Asian Ethnicity Black Ethnicity White Ethnicity Chinese Ethnicity Mixed Ethnicity Other Ethnicity Not Stated 2017/18 2018/19 2019/20
NCMP Ethnicity Detail Ethnicity detail The not stated causes similar issues relating to comparison despite improvement The schools to potentially contact to improve data collection are listed in appendix 1 The top 10 schools listed in appendix 1 account for 68% of this not stated segment It is recommended that a data improvement initiative is implemented. Perhaps as simple as writing to each school. Ethnicity Detail % 20 18 16 14 Percentage % 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 Ethnicity Detail 2017/18 Ethnicity Detail 2018/19 Ethnicity Detail 2019/20

BMI Definitions BMI is classified according to the following image using the British 1990 growth reference (UK90) The NCMP data set follows the classification The term very overweight is used rather than obese in the NCMP data
Body Mass Index Reference Curves for the UK, 1990 (Cole, Freeman & Preece) BMI of children is more complex than for adults Children s BMI changes as they mature and growth patterns differ between boys and girls. Therefore both the age and gender of a child need to be taken into account when estimating whether BMI is too high or too low. These thresholds are derived from a reference population, known as a child growth reference. They are calculated by weighing and measuring a large sample of children to identify how BMI varies by age and sex across the population. The UK90 BMI reference provides centile curves for BMI for British children from birth to 23 years. This is based on a sample of 32,222 measurements from 12 distinct surveys collected between 1978 and 1994. The UK90 shows the pattern of growth and also provides an average BMI for a boy or girl at a particular age, and the distribution of measurements above and below this value. This means that individual children can be compared to the reference population and the degree of variation from an expected value can be calculated.
Brent BMI Classification 31% Overweight or Very Overweight, Improvement Continues ! The improvements seen in 2018/19 continue into 2019/20 Increase in healthy weight by 2.7% to 66.5% Overweight % continues to fall to 12.7% in 2019/20 (1.6% decline versus previous year). Similarly the very overweight (obese) % fall to 18.3% In 2019/20 there were 31% in the overweight and very overweight categories (against 33.8% in 2018/19) The initiatives in place are working BMI Code 70 66.5 63.8 61.4 60 50 Percentage % 40 30 21.5 19.5 18.3 20 15.3 14.3 12.7 10 2.5 2.3 1.8 0 Underweight Healthy Weight Overweight Very Overweight 2017/18 2018/19 2019/20
Brent BMI Classification 2.2k Pupils Overweight or Very Overweight But Improvement 1287 pupils very overweight (obese) and 889 overweight = 2176 in 2019/20 combined Improvement on previous years 2453 in 2018/19, so absolute numbers have reduced by 277 pupils in 12 month period.

% Overweight & Very Overweight Increases In The Year 6 Cohort By school year there is a large increase in very over weight in year 6 compared to reception year (graph illustrates point). The over weight and very overweight averages have declined progressively from 36.8 in 2017/18 to 33.8% in 2018/19 and down to 31% in 2019/20 There are 37 schools where BMI is greater than the 31% average (2019/20) for the overweight and very overweight categories (these are graphed on slide 20) The full listing (all 63 schools) is included in appendix 2, also see appendix 3.
