这项研究针对 3212 个沙特家庭进行，旨在调查近亲结婚的普遍程度。对家属进行了访谈，获取了夫妻关系的信息。总体近亲率显示，筛查家庭中有57.7%是近亲。最常见的是表亲婚姻（28.4%），其次是远亲婚姻（15.2%）和远亲婚姻（14.6%）。家庭根据原籍省份进行分组，并据此计算近亲率。五省的近亲率略有差异，在52.1%至67.7%之间。在各省中，表亲婚姻是最常见的模式，范围为17.9%至40.9%。计算各省的近交系数（F），范围为0.020~0.030。在各省内，不同地区的种群之间存在显着差异。近亲结婚率最高的是萨姆塔（Samtah），为80.6%，最低的是西南省艾卜哈（Abha），约为34%。这些结果使沙特阿拉伯跻身世界上近亲结婚率较高的国家之列。提出并讨论了血缘关系增加可能产生的后果。
This study was conducted on 3212 Saudi families to investigate the prevalence of consanguineous marriages. The families were interviewed and the information on the relationship between the husband and wife was obtained. The overall rate of consanguinity shows that 57.7% of the families screened were consanguineous. The most frequent were first cousin marriages (28.4%) followed by distant relative marriages (15.2%) and second cousin marriages (14.6%).The families were grouped according to the province of their origin and the consanguinity rates were calculated accordingly. There were slight differences in the consanguinity rates in the five provinces, which ranged from 52.1% to 67.7%. In each province first cousin marriages were the most frequently encountered pattern, ranging from 17.9% to 40.9%. The inbreeding coefficient (F) was calculated for each province and ranged from 0.020 to 0.030.Within each province, there were several significant differences among the populations in the different areas. The highest rate of consanguinity was 80.6% in Samtah and the lowest rate was around 34% in Abha in the South Western province.These results place Saudi Arabia among the countries of the world with a high rate of consanguinity. The possible consequences of increased consanguinity are presented and discussed.
