As a demographer, sociologist, and social epidemiologist, Dr. Zajacova pursues several research directions.

They center on important issues in population health and health determinants. Some questions are fascinating because of deep substantive and policy implications — in particular, how is educational attainment related to adult health? Other questions captivate me because of methodological paradoxes or quandaries — such as, is overweight/obesity really protective for the health of older adults or is it just a data artifact?
