Nancy Luke
Nancy Luke is a social demographer whose research focusses on the role that social relationships – including gender, marriage, and family – play in shaping health and wellbeing in developing countries. In particular, she studies the exchange of resources within familial relationships, including bargaining between spouses over the allocation of household resources in India and the exchange of psychosocial and economic support between migrant children and their families of origin in Kenya. Dr. Luke's recent work concerns important health issues, such as sexual behaviour and HIV risk, marital violence, son preference, and child nutrition. Dr. Luke's research is interdisciplinary, incorporating theoretical and methodological insights from sociology, economics, anthropology, and public health. She has designed and directed several large-scale surveys as well as conducted qualitative studies in Kenya, Malawi, Ethiopia, India, and Vietnam. In support of her research, Dr. Luke has received grants from the National Institutes of Health and the World Bank. Dr. Luke's research appears in American Journal of Sociology, Demography, Population Studies, Population and Development Review, Journal of Marriage and Family, Demographic Research, Review of Economics and Statistics, Economic Development and Cultural Change, Journal of Development Economics, and Studies in Family Planning among other journals and edited volumes.

आर्थिक विकास, पोषण जाल, और चयापचय संबंधी रोग
हाल ही में प्रलेखित किये गए दो तथ्य इस परंपरागत धारणा के विपरीत चलते हैं कि आर्थिक विकास बेहतर स्वास्थ्य की ओर ले जाता है: विकासशील देशों में आय और पोषण की स्थिति के बीच एक स्पष्ट लिंक का अभाव; और आर्थिक विकास के साथ, तथा सामान्य व्यक्तियों में, जो कि जरूरी नहीं कि अधिक वजन वाले हों, चयापचय संबंधी बीमारी का बढ़ता प्रचलन। यह लेख इन प्रतीत होने वाले असंबंधित अवलोकनों के लिए एक ही स्पष्टीकरण प्रदान करता है।
Economic development, the nutrition trap, and metabolic disease
Two recently documented facts run counter to the conventional wisdom that economic development leads to better health: the absence of a clear link between income and nutritional status in developing countries; and the increased prevalence of metabolic disease, among normal individuals, that is, those who are not necessarily overweight, with economic development. This article provides a single explanation for these seemingly unrelated observations.
