Abstract

A key performance indicator for the NSW health system is the prevalence of ‘overweight or obesity’ in the population. The amalgamation of the two categories of ‘obese’ and ‘overweight’ in this indicator masks differing trends in these individual categories over time. For the entire NSW population, the total category of ‘overweight or obese’ increased by 11.1% between 1997 and 2011. The increase for the ‘obese’ category alone was however 8.5% over this period and ‘overweight’ alone was 2.6%. The above figures compare these trends in the highest socioeconomic status (SES) (least disadvantaged) quintile (Figure 1) and the lowest SES (most disadvantaged) quintile (Figure 2). These figures show that, while the rate of increase of total ‘overweight and obesity’ between 1997 and 2011 is similar in the two groups, the rate of increase for the ‘obese’ category alonewas higher in the low SES group compared to the high SES group over this period. The prevalence of ‘obesity’ alone increased from 7.2% to 12.7% between 1997 and 2011 for the high SES category (a 5.5% increase overall) and from 13.7% to 23.8% over the same period for the low SES group (10.1% overall).
