Societies must transform their dynamics to support the flourishing of life. There is increasing interest in regeneration and regenerative practice as a solution, but also limited cohered understanding what constitutes systems at social-ecological scales. In this perspective we present conceptual, cross-disciplinary, action-oriented framework, Regenerative Lens, informed by wide literature review. The framework emphasizes that maintain positive reinforcing cycles wellbeing within beyond...
Early interventions are recognised as key to improving life chances for children and reducing inequalities in health well-being, however there is a paucity of high quality research into the effectiveness address childhood development outcomes. Planning implementing standalone RCTs multiple, individual would be slow, cumbersome expensive. This paper describes protocol an innovative experimental birth cohort: Born Bradford's Better Start (BiBBS) that will simultaneously evaluate impact...
The contribution of the environment to obesity epidemic is well recognized. Parents have control over their home and can, therefore, support healthy dietary activity habits in children by manipulating factors such as access energy-dense foods, availability physical equipment, restricting screen time. This paper describes development Healthy Home Survey its reliability validity. was designed assess characteristics that are hypothesized influence weight behaviors including diet activity.We...
Data from France and the UK have showed a disproportionately higher prevalence of obesity in patients with COVID-19 admitted to Intensive Care Units (ICUs) compared general population data.1,2 About 10% ICU BMI 40 kg/m2 or more, evidence shows increased mortality among this group.2,3 The Government advice for those at least is be particularly stringent following social distancing measures. This message has created confusion fear many people living because uncertainty about their risk what...
Objectives To explore clinically important increases in depression/anxiety from before to during the first UK COVID-19 lockdown and factors related this change, with a particular focus on ethnic differences. Design Pre-COVID-19 surveys nested within two longitudinal Born Bradford cohort studies. Participants 1860 mothers child aged 0–5 or 9–13, 48% Pakistani heritage. Main outcome measures ORs for increase (5 points more) depression (eight item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-8)) anxiety...
Pollution is a major cause of ill health globally. Low emission zones (LEZ) have been identified as effective in reducing pollution and are increasing popularity but remain divisive. Understanding what factors help or hinder implementation important. In the UK, Clean Air Zones (CAZ, type LEZ) being implemented several cities. We aimed to identify key barriers enablers CAZ real time, policy was developed large Northern city England, UK. Twenty-five semi-structured interviews were conducted...
Abstract Objective: Free school meals (FSM) are a crucial form of support for families. This study aimed to investigate whether the FSM allowance can provide what is perceived be, healthy, sustainable, and satisfying food. Design: A mixed methods incorporating co-production, citizen science participatory approaches was conducted. Citizen scientists were given daily budget equivalent asked purchase ‘tasty, healthy sustainable’ lunch week. Alongside keeping records available purchased foods,...
<ns3:p>Background Despite the popularity of low emissions zones (LEZ) across Europe their public acceptability and impact on travel behaviours are scarcely studied. We aimed to explore changes in acceptability, perceptions air quality, a multi-ethnic sample living Bradford, UK after implementation Clean Air Zone (a type LEZ). Methods Telephone, in-person online surveys were conducted one year pre- post implementation. Participants included members representative Born Bradford (BiB) cohort...
Food intake varies across the menstrual cycle in mammals, energy usually being greater premenstrual phase compared with postmenstrual phase. Premenstrual increments and a preferential selection of carbohydrate have been suggested to be women syndrome (PMS), who may more sensitive cyclical hormonal or neurotransmitter fluctuations. This has direct implications for research within populations women, especially where primary outcome is diet change balance. We aimed determine whether:...

Abstract Background Schools provide opportunities to improve the quality of children's diet, whilst reducing inequalities in childhood diet and health. Evidence supports whole school approaches, including consistency food quality, eating culture education. However, such approaches are often poorly implemented due highly complex environments which schools operate. We aimed develop a systems map using thinking approach help identify key factors influencing primary children’s dietary choice....
Epidemiological evidence indicates that early life factors are important for obesity development but there gaps in knowledge regarding the impact of exposures during pregnancy and life, especially South Asian children.There is a corresponding lack to guide culturally-appropriate, prevention programmes.This paper describes methodology characteristics participants Born Bradford 1000 (BiB1000), nested cohort prospective birth cohort.BiB1000 aims enable deep extensive understanding predictors...
