Evidence of phenotypic and social assortative mating for anthropometric and physiological traits in couples from the Basque country (Spain).

Journal of biosocial science - 1 Mar 2004

Salces I, Rebato E, Susanne C

Abstract excerpt

This study examined 28 anthropometrical and physiological traits in 107 married couples living in the province of Biscay (Basque Country, Spain). The aim was to verify the existence of a phenotypic and/or social preference when choosing a mate. For this, correlations between pairs of spouses were estimated by maximum likelihood, and a model of familial transmission (path analysis) was applied in order to test if...
