The new National Obesity Observatory was established to provide a single point of contact for wide-ranging authoritative information on data, evidence and practice related to obesity, overweight, underweight and their determinants.

This specialist observatory is a member of the Association of Public Health Observatories and is sited alongside the South East Public Health Observatory. The National Obesity Observatory will work closely with a wide range of organisations and will provide support to policy makers and practitioners involved in obesity and related issues.
