We want to create an environment and local services that help all Rutland residents achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
At the moment, more than 6 in 10 Rutland adults are overweight or obese. For children in their last year of primary school, that number is around 3 in 10.
Weight can be a complex issue that depends on a person's genetics, as well as a range of social, economic, environmental, and psychological factors. Because of this, we need to work together to understand the main causes of unhealthy weight in our area.
About this survey
If we don't know precisely why obesity rates are at their current rate, we can't provide the right kind of support to help bring them down. We've gained some insight on physical activity from recent partner surveys and so the focus here is mainly on food and healthy eating.
We asked people to help us by sharing their views, experiences, priorities and suggestions on how we can better support people living in Rutland.
