Obesity is the biggest threat to women's health and the health of future generations, warns England's chief medical officer Dame Sally Davies.

In her annual report, she said tackling obesity should be a national priority and women should be empowered to lead healthier and more active lives.

The report makes 17 recommendations for the improvement of women's health.

Dame Sally is calling for better treatment of ovarian cancer and more open discussion on incontinence.

Health experts have welcomed the focus of the report, entitled Health of the 51%: Women.
