BBC News Article on Childhood Obesity in Wales

The report compared for the first time problems in rural and urban areas but found little difference.

A pilot study of children in the Cwm Taf health board area found that more than a fifth of healthy four and five-year-olds went on to become overweight or obese by the time they were aged eight or nine.

It also found 82.5% of children classed as obese at that age were still the same as they got older.
