19 district local authorities with more than 70% of population obese or too fat

Copeland, Cumbria, has the most overweight people in England, according to the data from Public Health England.
The analysis shows that more than three-quarters of Copeland’s population (75.9%) are overweight or obese.
Doncaster, south Yorkshire, has the second highest population of overweight people with 74.4%, while East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, comes third, with 73.8%.
The lightest region is London, with 57% overweight, while the north-east tops the regional league, with 68% of the population overweight.
Obesity puts people at increased risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer and other diseases, and there is great concern over the potential burden on the NHS as people get older and the toll of obesity-related illness rises.
There are 19 district local authorities where more than 70% of adults are overweight or obese, including County Durham, Bolsover, Blackpool, Scarborough, Basildon and Thurrock.
