In order to determine the extent of correspondence between husbands and wives in their personal habits, a sample of 281 spouse pairs was interviewed regarding their smoking, drinking, and dietary habits. Both aggregate and within-pair agreements were examined. There was good correspondence between husbands and wives for a majority of the food items, the exceptions being foods that are more likely to be eaten away from home. While the agreement on wine consumption was also good, there was little correspondence between husbands and wives in their patterns of beer consumption and cigarette smoking. These findings indicate that the diets of husbands and wives are generally similar and that the circumspect use of spouses as surrogates for dietary information in epidemiological studies can be appropriate.
为了确定夫妻个人习惯之间的相符程度，对281对配偶进行了访谈，询问他们的吸烟、饮酒和饮食习惯。研究了总体相符情况以及夫妻之间的相符情况。大多数食品项目上夫妻之间的相符情况良好，例外情况是那些更可能在家庭以外食用的食物。虽然在葡萄酒消费方面的相符情况也良好，但夫妻在啤酒消费模式和吸烟方面的相符情况很少。这些发现表明，夫妻的饮食总体上相似，并且在流行病学研究中谨慎地将配偶作为饮食信息的替代者可能是合适的。
