Moreover, a similar increase was observed in obese children - 1.7% and 2.6% respectively of English boys and girls were overweight, slightly lower figures than in Scotland.

The report's authors, from King's College in London, concluded these problems would probably produce larger numbers of overweight and obese adults in the coming years.
