CONTEXT: Biraderi is a form of identity-based grouping among South Asian communities which refers to an individual's occupation, kinship networks, or place of origin. It can also be used for social ranking into so-called "higher" and "lower" biraderi groups. Biraderi is common marker of identity among British Muslims, and is related to the broader concept of caste. In South Asia, caste status affects people's access to economic opportunity and health services, and forms part of the way children learn about themselves and society, with those of so-called "higher" castes often having better access and opportunity than those of so-called "lower" castes. There is a wealth of research on how caste or identity-based grouping in South Asia predicts children's access to nutritious food in the crucial early years of life, but very little information on how biraderi is related to breastfeeding and children's diets among South Asian diaspora communities in the UK. There is also no clear way to organise data on biraderi groups to help researchers understand whether some children in the UK are at risk of poor nutrition because of the social or economic vulnerabilities that come with belonging to a so-called "lower" ranking group. Are nutritional patterns linked to identity-based ranking that are observed in South Asian countries re-created among British diaspora communities? What implications does that have for public health and inequalities in the UK? We will answer these questions by looking at data on British Pakistani women and their children who are born in the city of Bradford.AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: Our study aims to understand whether biraderi is related to women's breastfeeding practices and their children's diets by re-using data already collected in the Born in Bradford (BiB) study. We will achieve this aim through 4 objectives.1. We will consult a group of academic experts on biraderi and a community group of Muslim residents in Bradford on the best way to arrange or rank the 15 biraderi groups in the BiB study.2. We will create data summaries of breastfeeding rates and duration, and nutritional qualities of children's diets for each biraderi grouping identified by our academic and community groups.3. We will examine whether there are important differences in breastfeeding practices and children's diets between different biraderi groups (or ranks) after we have accounted for other factors such as education, income, and living conditions.4. We will compare our findings from Bradford to the wider research on how differences based on social and cultural identity are expressed in children's diets, and discuss whether community breastfeeding / nutrition services or social health initiatives need to account for differences based on biraderi.POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS AND BENEFITS: Our study will be one of the first to examine biraderi-based differences in breastfeeding and children's diets among British South Asians, and we expect 4 potential applications and benefits.1. We will identify sub-groups within ethnic minorities in the UK who are at increased risk of poor nutrition in early life and would benefit from additional support to achieve the lifelong health and economic benefits of breastfeeding and healthy diets.2. Our expert and community consultation on grouping biraderi data will provide a framework for researchers who want to understand how biraderi is related to other health conditions across the life span.3. Internationally, there is a large community of researchers and policy makers who want to understand and reduce the effects of identity-based markers of social grouping on health, and our work will show an innovative method to involve community groups in the analysis and interpretation of such information.4. At a local level, Bradford is the UK City of Culture 2025, and our activities to share results with local communities will put the spotlight on children's nutrition and health in the city.

背景：Biraderi是南亚社区中基于身份的一种组成的一种形式，它指的是个人的职业，亲属网络或原产地。它也可以用于社会排名，以分为所谓的“更高”和“较低”的Biraderi群体。比拉德里（Biraderi）是英国穆斯林（英国穆斯林）身份的共同标志，与更广泛的种姓概念有关。在南亚，种姓状况会影响人们获得经济机会和卫生服务的机会，并成为儿童学习自己和社会的一部分，而所谓的“更高”种姓通常比所谓的“较低”种姓的种姓往往具有更好的访问和机会。关于在关键的早期生命中，南亚如何预测儿童获得营养食品的机会，有很多研究，但是关于Biraderi如何与英国南亚侨民社区中的Biraderi与母乳喂养和儿童饮食有关的信息很少。还没有明确的方法来组织Biraderi群体的数据来帮助研究人员了解英国的某些儿童是否有营养不良的风险，因为属于所谓的“较低”排名小组的社会或经济脆弱性。在英国侨民社区中重新创建的南亚国家中观察到的基于身份的排名是否与基于身份的排名相关联？这对英国的公共卫生和不平等有什么影响？我们将通过查看出生于布拉德福德市的英国巴基斯坦妇女及其子女的数据来回答这些问题：我们的研究旨在了解Biraderi是否通过在Bradford（Bib）研究中已经收集的数据来了解Biraderi是否与妇女的母乳喂养习惯和孩子的饮食有关。我们将通过4个目标实现这一目标1。我们将咨询Biraderi的一群学术专家和Bradford的一个社区穆斯林居民，以在Bib研究中安排或排名15个Biraderi小组的最佳方式。2。我们将为我们的学术和社区组确定的每个Biraderi分组的儿童饮食的母乳喂养率和持续时间以及儿童饮食的营养品质创建数据摘要。3。我们将研究不同的Biraderi群体（或等级）之间在母乳喂养实践和儿童饮食中是否存在重要差异，因为我们考虑了其他因素，例如教育，收入和生活状况。4。 We will compare our findings from Bradford to the wider research on how differences based on social and cultural identity are expressed in children's diets, and discuss whether community breastfeeding / nutrition services or social health initiatives need to account for differences based on biraderi.POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS AND BENEFITS: Our study will be one of the first to examine biraderi-based differences in breastfeeding and children's diets among British South Asians, and we expect 4 potential applications and好处1。我们将确定英国少数民族中少数族裔的子群体，他们在早期生命中的营养不良风险增加，并从额外的支持中受益，以实现母乳喂养和健康饮食的终身健康和经济益处。2。我们关于Biraderi数据分组的专家和社区咨询将为希望了解Biraderi与整个寿命中其他健康状况有何关系的研究人员提供一个框架。3。在国际上，有大量的研究人员和政策制定者想要理解和减少基于身份的社会团体对健康的影响的影响，我们的工作将展示一种创新的方法，使社区群体参与对此类信息的分析和解释。4。在地方一级，布拉德福德是英国文化之城2025，我们与当地社区分享业绩的活动将使该市儿童的营养和健康成为焦点。
