Evidence from developed Western societies is reviewed for the claims that (a) physical attractiveness judgments are substantially based on body size and shape, symmetry, sex-typical hormonal markers, and other specific cues and (b) physical attractiveness and these cues substantially predict health. Among the cues that the authors review, only female waist-to-hip ratio and weight appear to predict both attractiveness and health in the claimed manner. Other posited cues--symmetry and sex-typical hormonal markers among them--failed to predict either attractiveness or health (or both) in either sex. The authors find that there is some indication that attractiveness has an overall relationship with health among women, but little indication that male attractiveness relates to male health.
本文回顾了来自西方发达社会的证据，以验证以下观点：（a）对身体吸引力的判断主要基于体型和身材、对称性、性别典型的激素指标以及其他特定线索；（b）身体吸引力和这些线索能显著预测健康状况。在作者回顾的线索中，只有女性的腰臀比和体重似乎能以所述方式预测吸引力和健康状况。其他假定的线索——包括对称性和性别典型的激素指标——在任何一种性别中都未能预测吸引力或健康状况（或两者）。作者发现，有一些迹象表明女性的吸引力与健康总体上存在关联，但几乎没有迹象表明男性的吸引力与男性健康有关。
