The association between green space and depressive symptoms in pregnant women
BACKGROUND: The current study explored the association between green space and depression in a deprived, multiethnic sample of pregnant women, and examined moderating and mediating variables. METHOD: 7547 women recruited to the 'Born in Bradford' cohort completed a questionnaire during pregnancy. A binary measure of depressive symptoms was calculated using a validated survey. Two green space measures were used: quintiles of residential greenness …
Using latent class analysis to develop a model of the relationship between socioeconomic position and ethnicity
LCA allows different aspects of an individual's SEP to be considered in one multidimensional indicator, which can then be integrated in epidemiological analyses. Ethnicity is strongly associated with these identified subgroups. Findings from this study suggest a careful use of SEP measures in health research, especially when looking at different ethnic groups. Further replication of these findings is needed in other populations
UK-born Pakistani-origin infants are relatively more adipose than white British infants
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown markedly lower birth weight among infants of South Asian origin compared with those of White European origin. Whether such differences mask greater adiposity in South Asian infants and whether they persist across generations in contemporary UK populations is unclear. Our aim was to compare birth weight, skinfold thickness and cord leptin between Pakistani and White British infants and to investigate the exp…
The influence of both individual and area based socioeconomic status on temporal trends in Caesarean sections in Scotland 1980-2000
Both individual social class and area deprivation are independently associated with Caesarean sections in Scotland. The tendency for disadvantaged women to be more likely to receive emergency sections disappeared at the same time as the likelihood of advantaged groups receiving elective sections increased
P1-285 Use of linear spline models to describe bi-ethnic differences in early childhood growth
Introduction Size at birth differs between South Asian and White European infants, but little is known about differences in growth in later infancy. We use multilevel linear spline models to describe ethnic differences in growth of infants from the Born in Bradford study (BIB). Methods Data for 1378 singleton births from BIB with follow-up visits at 6, 12 and 18 months were used (614 White and 764 Pakistani infants). Weight and length data from c…
P1-496 An examination of the psychometric properties of the GHQ-28 subscales in a bi-ethnic antenatal sample in the UK
Introduction Born in Bradford is a large multi-ethnic birth cohort drawn from the North of England. As background to comparing mental health across our sample we conducted a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and invariance testing for each of the four-factor seven-item subscales of the GHQ-28 for a bi-ethnic subpopulation. Methods We examined data from White (N=2011) and Pakistani-origin (N=1516) women who responded to the GHQ-28 in English. We …
P1-286 Are differences in self-reported health behaviours in early pregnancy associated with ethnicity? Preliminary results from the born in Bradford birth cohort study
Introduction Pregnancy is a time of high motivation to initiate positive changes in health behaviours which have the potential to continue post pregnancy. Pregnancy outcomes vary between Pakistani and white British pregnant women, but differences in health behaviours during pregnancy between these two groups are under researched. Methods 4807 (1831 white British, 2222 Pakistani and 754 of Other origin) pregnant women were interviewed at 26–28 wee…
Birth size differences between white British and Pakistani origin infants by generation
Background There is a growing recognition that being born small is associated with risk of adult diseases such as Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, in addition to its known adverse effects on perinatal and infant outcomes. Previous studies have shown markedly lower birthweight among infants of South Asian origin compared to those of white British origin and there is a suggestion that such differences may mask greater central adiposity i…
P1-294 Risk factors for poor mental health during pregnancy from the born in Bradford cohort
Introduction Born in Bradford is a large multi-ethnic birth cohort drawn from the North of England. We describe the risk factors associated with poor mental health in pregnancy for White and Pakistani-origin women. Methods We examined data from White (N=1901) and Pakistani (N=1360) women who completed the GHQ-28 in English. We used univariate and multivariate logistic regression to examine socio-demographic risk factors associated with scoring ab…
P1-545 Birth size differences between white and Pakistani origin infants by generation
Background Previous studies have shown markedly lower birthweight among infants of South Asian origin compared to those of White European origin. Whether such differences mask greater (central) adiposity in South Asian infants and whether they persist across generations in contemporary UK populations is unclear. Objective To describe differences in term birth size between Pakistani origin and White British origin infants and investigate whether t…
Birth size differences between white and Pakistani-origin infants by generation
Background Previous studies have shown marked differences in birthweight between babies born in the UK of South Asian origin and those of UK origin. Whether such differences persist across generations in contemporary populations, the mechanisms underlying them and the extent to which other dimensions of birth size vary between these two groups is unclear. Objective To describe differences in term birthweight, head, arm and abdominal circumference…
Comparison of distributions of common indicators of socio-economic position by ethnicity and migration
Objective To describe and compare the distributions, including extent of missing data, in measures of socio-economic position (SEP) between women of white British and Pakistani ethnicity. We also compare distributions of measures of SEP between Pakistani women born in UK and those born in Pakistan and also compare distributions by the woman's age at migration to the UK. Design The Born in Bradford birth cohort study recruits pregnant women at 26–…

Background Previous studies have shown marked differences in birth weight between babies born in the UK of South Asian origin and those of UK origin.

Social class inequalities in perinatal outcomes
Objective: To examine social class inequalities in adverse perinatal events in Scotland between 1980 and 2000 and how these were influenced by other maternal risk factors. Design: Population based study using routine maternity discharge data. Setting: Scotland. Participants: All women who gave birth to a live singleton baby in Scottish hospitals between 1980 and 2000 (n = 1 282 172). Main outcome measures: Low birth weight (LBW), preterm birth, a…
