Residents of the former mining and steel towns of Easington and Corby are the most likely people in England to be obese, research suggests.
Credit reference company Experion and analysts Dr Foster Intelligence used data from two surveys to draw up an obesity map of England.
Obesity risk is 22 per cent higher than average in Easington, near Newcastle, and 21 per cent higher in Corby, near Leicester.
The lowest risk was found in the City of London and Kensington and Chelsea.
