Re: Letter to the Editor of Public Health in response to ‘Increasing inequality in childhood obesity in primary schools in a northern English town’

Thank you for your interest in our research on childhood obesity and the growing gap between the most and least deprived children in primary schools in Doncaster.1 We agree that the reasons are complex and multifactorial. Thank you for highlighting the less considered variable of dog fouling and the risk of toxocariasis as a potential limiting factor in relation to children taking outdoor exercise.
