In a previous nationwide survey of the Israeli Arab community we showed that 44% of all marriages are consanguineous. Further analysis of the data from this previous survey was undertaken, and we defined six demographic characteristics that may be associated with consanguinity or non-consanguinity in the marriages. Of these, we found a significant correlation (P <0.001) with religion (for Moslems, odds ratio 1.7), consanguinity in parents' marriages, and the respondent's attitude towards consanguineous marriage. The educational level achieved was not a major factor in the type of marriage chosen. These findings should enable us to plan specifically designed educational and counseling programs with a view to reducing the overall incidence of consanguineous marriage.
在之前对以色列阿拉伯社区进行的一项全国性调查中，我们发现所有婚姻中有44%是近亲结婚。我们对之前这项调查的数据进行了进一步分析，并确定了六个可能与婚姻中的近亲或非近亲关系相关的人口统计学特征。其中，我们发现宗教（对于穆斯林来说，优势比为1.7）、父母婚姻中的近亲关系以及受访者对近亲婚姻的态度之间存在显著相关性（P<0.001）。所达到的教育水平并不是选择婚姻类型的主要因素。这些发现应能使我们规划专门设计的教育和咨询项目，以降低近亲婚姻的总体发生率。
