Spouse concordance for plasma cholesterol and triglyceride was studied in 1971 spouse pairs including 545 spouse pairs married 40 or more years. Both lipids showed modest but statistically significant age corrected Kendall Tau-B correlations; 0.046 (P = 0.005) for cholesterol and 0.070 (P = 0.0001) for triglycerides. Concordance was not explained by season of sampling or by selective mortality. Relative weight was positively correlated in spouse pairs and appeared to explain much of the observed correlations in cholesterol and triglycerides. Spouse pairs also showed positive correlations for cigarette smoking and egg and milk consumption, though these behavioral variables explained little of the concordance for cholesterol and triglycerides. Lipid concordance was highest in marriages of the shortest (1-9 yr) and longest (40 + yr) durations, as was relative weight concordance, suggesting an interaction between duration of marriage and environmental and/or selective factors affecting plasma lipids.
对1971对配偶进行了血浆胆固醇和甘油三酯的配偶一致性研究，其中包括545对结婚40年或更长时间的配偶。两种脂质均显示出适度但经年龄校正后具有统计学意义的肯德尔Tau - B相关性；胆固醇为0.046（P = 0.005），甘油三酯为0.070（P = 0.0001）。一致性不能用采样季节或选择性死亡率来解释。配偶对中的相对体重呈正相关，似乎可以解释观察到的胆固醇和甘油三酯相关性的很大一部分。配偶对在吸烟以及鸡蛋和牛奶消费方面也呈正相关，尽管这些行为变量对胆固醇和甘油三酯一致性的解释很少。脂质一致性在最短（1 - 9年）和最长（40年以上）婚姻持续时间中最高，相对体重一致性也是如此，这表明婚姻持续时间与影响血浆脂质的环境和/或选择因素之间存在相互作用。
