Conclusions: apart from their exposure to pandemic and lockdowns, it is likely that, due to compositional changes in births, the observed loco started life, on average, more socially advantaged than previous birth cohorts in scotland. we show a substantial decrease in fertility in the most deprived areas, while fertility remained little changed in the least deprived areas. increases in the stringency of lockdown measures were associated with a decrease in births in the most deprived but an increase in the least deprived areas 9 to 13 months later. key messages: between november 2020 and november 2021, there were substantial decreases in births among deprived areas in scotland while fertility in the least deprived areas remained mostly unchanged. for these births, the observed compositional shift in maternal socioeconomic characteristics may lead to changes in current and future health and health needs – the loco (lockdown cohort)-effect
