2. Background Purpose of data collection: PHOF Measured vs. self-report data Why use the Active People Survey? 2Measuring adult BMI using the Active People Survey

3. Assessing the validity of self-report data 3Measuring adult BMI using the Active People Survey Mean height by age and sex; HSE 2006  2010 and APS6 Q2 to APS7 Q1

4. Assessing the validity of self-report data 4Measuring adult BMI using the Active People Survey Mean weight by age and sex; HSE 2006  2010 and APS6 Q2 to APS7 Q1

5. Adjusting the self-report data 5Measuring adult BMI using the Active People Survey Relative difference in height by age and sex; measured HSE 2006  2010 compared to self-reported APS6 Q2 to APS7 Q1

6. Adjusting the self-report data 6Measuring adult BMI using the Active People Survey Relative difference in weight by age and sex; measured HSE 2006  2010 compared to self-reported APS6 Q2 to APS7 Q1

7. Adjusting the self-report data 7Measuring adult BMI using the Active People Survey Prevalence of excess weight (BMI ≥25kg/m 2 ) by age, measured HSE 2006  2010, unadjusted and adjusted APS6 Q2 to APS7 Q1; Males

8. Adjusting the self-report data 8Measuring adult BMI using the Active People Survey Prevalence of excess weight (BMI ≥25kg/m 2 ) by age, measured HSE 2006  2010, unadjusted and adjusted APS6 Q2 to APS7 Q1; Females

11. Supporting indicators available on PHE Obesity website (noo.org.uk) o Underweight o Healthy weight o Overweight o Obesity o Adjusted and unadjusted data o Weighted and unweighted sample size 11Measuring adult BMI using the Active People Survey Accessing the LA data

12. Continued checks on validity of APS data Does ‘error’ in self-reported height and weight differ by ethnic group or socioeconomic status etc? What effect does BMI have on self-reported height and weight? Requests already received for severe obesity prevalence (BMI ≥40kg/m 2 ) Examine prevalence by other variables (e.g. NS-SeC, ethnicity, LLTI, disability, physical activity) Investigation of local authority variation o Age-specific rates o Characteristics of areas with high/low prevalence Possibility of Sport England producing modelled MSOA data Any other suggestions?? 12Measuring adult BMI using the Active People Survey Future work
