Age plays a considerable role in assortative mating. As regards this criterion we can distinguish a "rural, more traditional model" with high values of the coefficients of correlation, and an "urban model" with significantly lower values. Concerning eye and hair colour we find both these models as well as transitional forms. In contrast to this there are no important differences in assortative mating between the rural and urban populations regarding the physical traits. Size of population and length of marriage can strongly influence the values of these correlations. They decrease as the size of the population decreases, in which a person chooses his/her partner. Increasing age of the couples also results in a decrease of these correlations.
年龄在选型交配中起着相当重要的作用。就这一标准而言，我们可以区分出相关系数值较高的“农村、更传统模式”和相关系数值显著较低的“城市模式”。关于眼睛和头发颜色，我们发现了这两种模式以及过渡形式。与此形成对比的是，农村和城市人口在选型交配方面，就身体特征而言没有重要差异。人口规模和婚姻时长会强烈影响这些相关系数的值。当一个人选择伴侣时，随着人口规模的减小，这些相关系数值会降低。夫妻年龄的增加也会导致这些相关系数值下降。
