• Deprivation is measured by the English Index of Multiple Deprivation for the neighbourhood where each person lives, which combines income, employment, education, health, crime, housing and living environment.
• Age-standardised: adjusted as if each group had the same age profile as the whole population.
• Body mass index (BMI) is weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in metres. For adults, a BMI of 25 or more counts as overweight and 30 or more as obese; overweight here includes obesity.
