There's more fatter/obese people in England than there is in Scotland. That's a fact.

Brought to by the Salmond school of economics.

International Comparisons :: Public Health England Obesity Knowledge and Intelligence team

The following chart uses Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) data. Data from the Health Survey for England for 2011; Welsh Health Survey for 2011; Scottish Health Survey for 2011; Survey of Lifestyle, Attitudes and Nutrition, Republic of Ireland for 2007; and Health Survey Northern Ireland for 2011/12 are also included.
The chart shows that England has a high prevalence of obesity compared to most other countries in the OECD. Only Scotland, New Zealand, Hungary, Mexico and the United States have a higher prevalence than England.

For example we all know this

• In 2010–12, male life expectancy at birth was highest in East Dorset (82.9 years) and lowest in Glasgow City (72.6 years).
• For females, life expectancy at birth was highest in Purbeck (86.6 years) and lowest in Glasgow City (78.5 years).
• Approximately 91% of baby boys in East Dorset and 94% of girls in Purbeck will reach their 65th birthday, if 2010–12 mortality rates persist throughout their lifetime. The comparable figures for Glasgow City are 75% for baby boys and 85% for baby girls.
• Life expectancy at age 65 was highest for men in Harrow, where they could expect to live for a further 20.9 years compared with only 14.9 years for men in Glasgow City.
• For women at age 65, life expectancy was highest in Camden (23.8 years) and lowest in Glasgow City (18.3 years).
