deteriorating, held with established confidence, formed on 5 October 2026 from movements in 2025.
Adults who are obese in Basildon accounted for 36.35% in 2024/25, an unfavourable movement. Deaths before age 75 numbered 293.3 per 100,000 in 2024, a favourable movement, and 322.95 per 100,000 in 2025, an unfavourable one. The most recent reading of deaths before 75 is the higher of the two years recorded, and both of the measures with a 2025 or 2024/25 reading moved unfavourably in their latest period.
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 Basildon. Where no figure supports a direction we hold no view rather than a hedged one.
