Indirect assortative mating for human disease and longevity

2017-09-07

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic correlations of couples for phenotypes evident at the time of mate choice, like height, are well documented. Similarly, phenotypic correlations among partners for traits not directly observable at the time of mate choice, like longevity or late-onset disease status, have been reported. Partner correlations for longevity and late-onset disease are comparable in magnitude to correlations in 1 st degree r...
