improving, held with established confidence, formed on 5 October 2026 from movements in 2025.
Health measures in Nottingham have been improving, on a series that reversed. Deaths before age 75, per 100,000 was 513.74 in 2024 and recorded as unfavourable against the usual pattern for its year, then 445.34 in 2025 and favourable. Adults who are obese was 35.35 in 2024/25 and unfavourable. One favourable reading against two, with the favourable one being the most recent early-death figure, is a thin basis for the direction, which is why the view is held as established rather than strong.
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 Nottingham. Where no figure supports a direction we hold no view rather than a hedged one.
