Percentage Obese in reception year - WMCA

This is the percentage of reception year children who are living with obesity and includes children who are living with severe obesity. The BMI classification of each child is derived by calculating the child's BMI centile and assigning the BMI classification. Obese is defined as a BMI centile greater than or equal to the 95th centile. Severely obese is defined as a BMI centile greater than or equal to 99.6 (This BMI classification is a subset of the "Obese" classification). The results are derived from the postcode of the school. Measurement of children's heights and weights, without shoes and coats and in normal, light, indoor clothing, was overseen by healthcare professionals and undertaken in school by trained staff. Measurements could be taken at any time during the academic year. Some children could be over one year older than others in the same school year at the point of measurement. This does not impact upon a child's BMI classification since BMI centile results are adjusted for age. The National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) collects height and weight measurements of children in reception (aged 4-5 years) and year 6 (aged 10-11 years) primarily in mainstream state-maintained schools in England. Local authorities are mandated to collect data from mainstream state-maintained schools but collection of data from special schools (schools for pupils with special educational needs and pupil referral units) and independent schools is encouraged. Data is [Powered by LG Inform Plus] and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.
Percent Obese in year 6 - WMCA

This is the percentage of year 6 children who are living with obesity and includes children who are living with severe obesity. The BMI classification of each child is derived by calculating the child's BMI centile and assigning the BMI classification. Obese is defined as a BMI centile greater than or equal to the 95th centile. Severely obese is defined as a BMI centile greater than or equal to 99.6 (This BMI classification is a subset of the "Obese" classification). The results are derived from the postcode of the school.

Percentage of pupils meeting the expected standard at KS2 in reading, writing and maths - WMCA

This is the percentage of pupils in state-funded primary schools meeting the expected standard in reading, writing, and mathematics (RWM) at key stage 2 (KS2). The expected standard in reading and mathematics is a scaled score of 100 or above. The expected standard in writing is a teacher assessment of 'working at the expected standard' (EXS) or 'working at greater depth within the expected standard' (GDS). All children in state-funded primary schools, including most academies and free schools, are required to take part in KS2 national curriculum assessments before they move to secondary school. Tests and teacher assessments provide complementary information about pupils' attainment. The tests are designed to show what pupils have achieved in selected parts of a subject at the end of each key stage. Teacher assessment is the teachers' judgement of each pupil's performance in the whole subject over the whole academic year. The description 'state-funded primary schools' refers to LA maintained schools, academies, and free schools. Excludes alternative provision and independent schools. The 'England state-funded schools' figures here may be slightly different from the 'England state-funded schools only' figures in the national tables. The figures presented here have been calculated on the same basis as the LA figures in this table (i.e., including pupils with missing results or pending maladministration). Writing teacher assessment and reading, writing, and maths (combined) measures from 2018 onwards are not directly comparable to previous years due to changes in the writing teacher assessment frameworks. Data is not available for 2020 and 2021 as assessments were cancelled in these years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Average Attainment 8 score - WMCA

This is the average Attainment 8 score per pupil. Attainment 8 measures pupils' attainment across eight qualifications. These are: 1. A double weighted maths element that will contain the point score of the pupil's English Baccalaureate (EBacc) maths qualification. 2. An English element based on the higher point score of a pupil's EBacc English language or English literature qualification. This will be double weighted provided a pupil has taken both qualifications. 3. An element which can include the three highest point scores from any of the English Baccalaureate (EBacc) qualifications in science subjects, computer science, history, geography, and languages. 4. An open element for the three highest point scores in any three other subjects, including English language or literature (if not counted in the English slot), further GCSE qualifications (including EBacc subjects) or any other technical awards from the Department for Education (DfE) approved list. If a pupil has not taken the maximum number of qualifications that count in each group then they will receive a point score of zero where a slot is empty. In 2016, changes were introduced to key stage 2 (KS2) outcomes in English reading and maths. They are now reported as scaled scores instead of national curriculum levels. Results for 2019/20 and 2020/21 include grades awarded to students, when exams were cancelled, due to COVID-19 and are not comparable with earlier years. Instead, for 2020/21, pupils were only assessed on the content they had been taught for each course. Schools were given flexibility to decide how to assess their pupils' performance. Figures for all state-funded schools include local authority maintained mainstream schools, academies, free schools, city technology colleges, further education colleges with provision for 14 to 16 year-olds, and state-funded special schools. They exclude independent schools, independent special schools, non-maintained special schools, hospital schools, pupil referral units, and alternative provision. They do not include pupils recently arrived from overseas. Data is [Powered by LG Inform Plus] and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.
Percent adults meeting the recommended '5-a-day' recommendation - WMCA

Proportion of the population who, when surveyed, reported that they had eaten the recommended 5 portions of fruit and vegetables on a usual day. This is the weighted number of respondents aged 16 and over, with valid responses to the question 'How many portions of fruit and vegetables did you eat yesterday?', eating at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables in the previous day. All analyses for this indicator have been weighted to be representative of the population of England. These indicators use data from the Sport England Active Lives (AL) survey. These indicators were not intended to be, and should not be, compared directly with other sources of diet data. The AL questions are more simplistic than those used in other sources e.g., National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) or Health Survey for England (HSE). Estimates from the different surveys are not directly comparable as the data collection methodologies are different. For the HSE, participants are asked numerous questions, including separate questions about fruits, vegetables, and pulses, and portion sizes. For the NDNS, data are collected using food diaries. Foods are then broken down to their component parts and fruit and vegetable portions are calculated. The method used in AL enables responses from a very large sample to be collected which means we can present data for each local authority which cannot be done using other sources. The main purpose of the data set used for the PHOF indicators is to enable comparisons between areas and to measure progress. Latest update presents data from Active Lives for the period mid-November to mid-November. The current estimates (2020 to 2021 onwards) are not comparable with the previous estimates (between 2015 to 2016 and 2019 to 2020) as the current estimates are consistently around 20 percentage points lower than the previous estimates. Although the estimates of those meeting the ‘5-a-day’ fruit and vegetable consumption recommendations are significantly lower from the single question, the ranking order across local authorities or inequality groups is similar.

Percentage Excess Winter Mortality Index - WMCA

The percentage of extra deaths that occurred due to winter, including those that had COVID-19 mentioned on the death certificate. The Excess Winter Mortality (EWM) index is calculated as the number of excess winter deaths divided by the average non-winter deaths, expressed as a percentage. Calculated so that comparisons can be made between sexes, age groups, and regions. An EWM index of 20 shows that there were 20 percent more deaths in winter compared with the non-winter period. Provisional figures at country and region level are produced for the most recent winter using estimation methods, and so are rounded to the nearest 100 deaths. Data post 2019/20 should be treated with caution due to high numbers of deaths from COVID-19 in the summer period. For data years 2020/21 onwards, instances where the number of winter deaths compared to non-winter deaths were equal to zero or a negative value, an EWM index is presented. (For earlier years, the EWM index was removed). A zero value for winter deaths compared to non-winter deaths is often affected by rounding, so in these instances, the winter mortality index can either be a positive or negative value. A negative winter mortality index means there were a higher number of deaths in the non-winter periods than the winter period. Alternatively, figures are available for deaths excluding COVID-19, calculated using all-cause deaths that did not have COVID-19 mentioned on the death certificate.

Robbery (per 1,000 population) - WMCA

This category shows police-recorded crimes where the offender has used force (or threatened to do so) in order to steal something. This includes stealing both from an individual (robbery of personal property) and from a business (robbery of business property). This category also includes assaults with attempt to rob. This data is based on a rolling calendar quarter covering 12 months. Data is [Powered by LG Inform Plus] and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.
Violence against the person - with injury (per 1,000 population) - WMCA

This category shows police-recorded violent crimes where the offender injured someone. This category includes crimes ranging from serious assaults to those that cause minor injuries, but does not include murder, manslaughter, or infanticide, which are categorised separately as homicide. This data is based on a rolling calendar quarter covering 12 months. Data is [Powered by LG Inform Plus] and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.
Percentage of adults who are fairly active - WMCA

This is the estimated percentage of adults aged 16 and over in the local area who are fairly active. These estimates include the activities of walking, cycling, dance, fitness and sporting activities, but exclude gardening which is outside of Sport England's remit. Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) publish physical activity data for adults aged 19+ that includes gardening. Activity is counted in moderate intensity equivalent minutes whereby each 'moderate' minute counts as one minute and each 'vigorous' minute counts as two moderate minutes. Depending on the number of minutes of moderate intensity equivalent (MIE) physical activity, people are described as being: * Inactive - Doing less than 30 minutes a week * Fairly Active - Doing 30-149 minutes a week * Active - Doing at least 150 minutes a week Moderate activity is defined as where you raise your heart rate and feel a little out of breath. Vigorous activity is where you are breathing hard and fast and your heart rate has increased significantly (you will not be able to say more than a few words without pausing for breath). When making comparisons between figures, some differences seen may not be significant differences and so a degree of caution should be made before making conclusions. The survey was adapted during the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey sample is randomly selected from the Royal Mail’s Postal Address File ensuring a very high coverage of private residential addresses. The target sample size for each English local authority (excluding the City of London and Isles of Scilly) is 500 returns. Data may be suppressed for an area where the threshold of 30 is not reached. Population totals are created using Office for National Statistics (ONS) mid-year population estimates. Data is sourced from the adult Active Lives November to November survey. Data is [Powered by LG Inform Plus] and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.

Stroke: QOF prevalence - GP

The percentage of patients with stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA), as recorded on practice disease registers (proportion of total list size). ## Rationale Stroke is the third most common cause of death in the developed world. One quarter of stroke deaths occur under the age of 65 years. There is evidence that appropriate diagnosis and management can improve outcomes. ## Definition of numerator Patients with stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA), as recorded on practice disease registers. ## Definition of denominator Total practice list size.
Coronary Heart Disease: QOF prevalence - ICB

The percentage of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), as recorded on practice disease register. ## Rationale Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the single most common cause of premature death in the UK. The research evidence relating to the management of CHD is well established and if implemented can reduce the risk of death from CHD and improve the quality of life for patients. This indicator set focuses on the management of patients with established CHD consistent with clinical priorities in the four nations. ## Definition of numerator Number of patients on the coronary heart disease (CHD) register. ## Definition of denominator Total practice list size.
Percentage of adults who are inactive - WMCA

This is the estimated percentage of adults aged 16 and over in the local area who are inactive.

Percentage of physically active children and young people - WMCA

Percentage of children aged 5-16 that meet the UK Chief Medical Officers' (CMOs') recommendations for physical activity (an average of at least 60 minutes moderate-vigorous intensity activity per day across the week). Weighted number of respondents reporting participation in sport and physical activity for at least 420 minutes in the last 7 days. Data is collected between September and July (term time only). Where a numerator is less than 30 for a Local Authority area, results are not presented. The values are calculated from a self-report survey, which is subjective and is influenced by the respondent's ability to recall and assess their physical activity levels. Self-reported data may also be affected by respondent desire to confirm to expectations and social norms (e.g. smoking under-estimated and PA over-estimated). However, although this might affect the absolute values, this should not affect comparisons if the bias is consistent across populations. Although a sampling framework has been developed, the selection of schools is carried out by County Sports Partnerships, who contact the schools and encourage them to take part. As not all schools are surveyed, there is the possibility that only those schools with a strong commitment to physical activity take part in the survey. Data is [Powered by LG Inform Plus] and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.

Percentage of adults physically active at least twice in the last 28 days - WMCA

This is the estimated percentage of adults aged 16 and over in the local area taking part in sport and physical activity at least twice in the last month. This is measured as the equivalent of 30 minutes or more activity at least twice in the last 28 days. Each session must last at least 10 minutes and be of at least moderate intensity. An individual can reach the minimum threshold by a combination of two 30-minutes sessions across the last 28 days or by six 10-minute sessions, for example. This is measured for all activities including sports, fitness, dance, cycling and walking (including for travel). Activities done by those aged 65 and over were assumed to be at least moderate in all cases. Moderate activity is defined as where you raise your heart rate and feel a little out of breath. Vigorous activity is where you are breathing hard and fast and your heart rate has increased significantly (you will not be able to say more than a few words without pausing for breath). When making comparisons between figures, some differences seen may not be significant differences and so a degree of caution should be made before making conclusions.
