Key Features
Born in Bradford (BiB) is a multi-ethnic birth cohort in Bradford, UK, which recruited 12 453 women with 13 776 pregnancies and 3448 of their partners between 2007 and 2011.
Routine health and education data have been collected since birth and cohort subsamples have been followed up to age 5 years. Metabolomics and genetic data are available for ∼11 000 mothers and ∼9000 children. The cohort works closely with communities and health and education providers using findings to influence policy.
This update summarizes the most recent follow-up in school and community settings when children were aged 6–11 years and key findings from the cohort.
Extensive new data for BiB families have been collected, including questionnaires, cognitive and sensorimotor development, built and natural environment measures, biological samples, with continued record linkage.
Measures of wellbeing and cognitive/sensorimotor development were extended to include non-BiB children in a whole-school recruitment approach.
