Assortative mating in monozygotic twins.

Social biology - 1 Jan 2000

Meier R J, Jamison P L

Abstract excerpt

This study investigated assortative mating in a series of monozygotic twins in terms of anthropometric variables. Initially the twins were analyzed independent of each other, and the results showed fairly clear homogamy among female MZ twins and their spouses, after correcting for age. Further, when stature was partialled out, several anthropometric measures remained significantly correlated. The results for male...
