In a comparison of Mormons and non-Mormons in Utah, more Mormon men and women married spouses of the same faith, were religiously active, were of Northern Europe ancestry, lived in rural areas, had fewer exposures to occupational hazards, were less likely to smoke cigarettes or drink coffee, tea, and alcohol, used fats in cooking, and were more often married that was the cohort of other religions. No differences existed in occupation, but Mormon men had completed more years of schooling. Mormon women were less likely to be college graduates, had fewer sexual partners, had more pregnancies, were older at first pregnancy, were less likely to use birth control pills, had fewer miscarriages and hysterectomies, examined their breasts more often, and had more breast X-rays. For women, there was only a small difference by religion for age at first intercourse and no difference for age at which they began using birth control pills. Religious activity was examined for Mormons, and in most instances inactive Mormons were more like the non-Mormon population in respect to the variables measured.
在对犹他州摩门教徒和非摩门教徒的比较中，更多的摩门教男性和女性与相同信仰的配偶结婚，宗教活动活跃，有北欧血统，生活在农村地区，接触职业危害较少，吸烟或饮用咖啡、茶和酒精的可能性较小，烹饪时使用脂肪，并且比其他宗教群体结婚更为频繁。职业方面没有差异，但摩门教男性完成学业的年限更多。摩门教女性大学毕业的可能性较小，性伴侣较少，怀孕次数较多，首次怀孕时年龄较大，使用避孕药具的可能性较小，流产和子宫切除术较少，更频繁地进行乳房自我检查，并且接受乳房X光检查的次数更多。对于女性而言，宗教信仰在首次性交年龄方面仅有微小差异，在开始使用避孕药具的年龄方面没有差异。对摩门教徒的宗教活动进行了研究，在大多数情况下，不活跃的摩门教徒在所测量的变量方面更类似于非摩门教人群。
