Ethnically assortative marriage rates have been calculated for Tatars (1.16) and Russians (8.37) on the basis of 14729 marriage records made in 1990-2000 in seven raions of Tatarstan (Arsky, Atninsky, Drozhzhanovsky, Alkeevsky, Musljumovsky, Aktanyshsky, and Baltasinsky). The outbreeding rate of Tatars (5.35%) has been found to be lower than in a number of other populations studied in this respect.

Women in hypogamy showed greater physical and mental health disadvantages because it goes against the traditional gender ideology about marriage and results in stress. However, the recent rise in women's education and the subsequent changes in people's attitude toward assortative marriages may alter this association.

Article Synopsis
- This paper examines how couple formation and assortative mating impact societal structures, using data from 1700 to 1910 to analyze trends in the U.S. with a focus on migration backgrounds and age at marriage.
- It identifies three main findings: significant changes in mating trends over time, diversity in these patterns across social groups, and differing interpretations based on individual versus familial perspectives.
- The study also discusses the pros and cons of using online genealogical databases, emphasizing their potential for new insights despite challenges related to data quality and representativeness.

In this research note, we examine changes in educational assortative mating in the United States over the last eight decades (1940 to 2020) using the U.S.

According to the parasite-stress theory, collectivism serves as a trait of ingroup assortative sociality, providing defense against infectious diseases. This study investigated the association between cultural collectivism and COVID-19 severity at the state (Study 1: N = 51), county (Study 2: N = 3,133), and daily (Study 3: N = 52,806) levels from the beginning of 2020 to the end of 2022. State-level collectivism was assessed using two distinct measures: the U.

Background: Hypertension, a critical risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, is found to cluster between spouses due to within-couple aggregation of antecedent environmental risk factors, either through assortative mating or cohabitation. However, majority of the evidence of spousal concordance of hypertension is from Caucasoid couples from western societies, whereas marriage, partner selection, and post-marital roles of husband and wives are very different in Indian society. Therefore, we aimed to comprehensively examine the phenomenon of spousal concordance of hypertension in Indian couples.
