improving, held with established confidence, formed on 5 October 2026 from movements in 2025.
Health measures in Solihull have been improving. Adults who are obese was 17.29 in 2024/25 and deaths before age 75, per 100,000 295.48 in 2024, both recorded as favourable against the usual pattern for their year. That is the whole of this evidence: two measures, both moving the same way, with nothing running against them. It is held as established rather than strong because each contributes a single annual reading, and two measures cannot show whether the wider health picture is moving with them.
A view is formed only where the evidence names a figure you can check. Each movement listed as a reason had to be large enough to matter and distinctive in at least one way — unusual against this area's own history, unusual against comparable areas, or sustained over several periods. A movement shared with peers counts for less, because it says something about the country rather than about Solihull. Where no figure supports a direction we hold no view rather than a hedged one.
| Measure | Period | Direction |
