Shared environments: a multilevel analysis of community context and child nutritional status in Bangladesh Corsi, Daniel J.; Chow, Clara K.; Lear, Scott A.; Rahman, Omar; Subramanian, S.V.; Teo, Koon The goal of the study was to examine the influence of community environment on the nutritional status (weight-for-age and height-forage) of children (aged 0–59 months) in Bangladesh. In addition, we tested the association between specific characteristics of community environments and child nutritional status. The data are from the nationally representative 2004 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey. The findings showed that the community environment influences child nutrition in Bangladesh, and maternal- and child-level covariates may fail to capture the entire influence of communities.

Gender and Life-Cycle Differentials in the Patterns and Determinants of Adult Health Strauss, J.; Gertler, P.; Rahman, Omar; Fox, K. This study investigates the socioeconomic determinants of adult ill health in developing countries. Use as measures of health, self reported general health plus a variety of measures of problems in physical functioning. Strong residential effects exist, although the factors behind them remain to be investigated.

The Impact of Kin on the Mortality of the Elderly in Rural Bangladesh Rahman, Omar This study uses high quality longitudinal data on kin availability, proximity, and marital status from the Matlab surveillance area in rural Bangladesh to explore the impact of kin members on the survival of the elderly over a six year period. The results - from discrete time hazard models- suggest that the presence of a spouse, sons, and brothers substantially improves survivorship, but with differing effects by the sex of the elderly and the number of sons and brothers. This study offers little support of any of the following as mechanisms by which kin affect the survival of the elderly: changes in the economic status of the elderly as proxied by land holdings; improved access to instrumental support as proxied by the marital status of sons; decreases in social isolation as proxied by proximity of kin
