在1017对年龄在20-49岁的夫妻中，妻子的肥胖和体重与受教育程度呈负线性关系，而丈夫的总皮褶测量值与受教育年限呈曲线抛物线关系。总体而言，丈夫和妻子之间的肥胖差异随着受教育程度的提高而缩小，超过13年的受教育程度的丈夫往往超过妻子的皮下脂肪厚度。当配偶一方的受教育程度固定在9-12岁时，嫁给受教育程度更高的男性的女性会更苗条，而嫁给受教育程度低的男性的女性会更胖更重。这些对家庭收入相同的配偶的研究结果表明，与教育水平相关的选择性交配在很大程度上解释了肥胖的社会经济效应，包括下嫁和上嫁女性之间的肥胖差异。这些数据还表明，在所有社会经济水平上，女性并不比男性胖。
In 1017 husband-wife pairs aged 20-49 y, both fatness and weight of the wives is inversely and linearly related to educational level whereas the husbands'' summed skinfold measurements bear a curvilinear, parabolic relationship to years of schooling. Overall, fatness differences between husbands and wives diminish with increased education, and beyond 13 y of education husbands often exceed the subcutaneous fat thickness of their wives. When the education of one spouse is held constant at 9-12 y, women who marry up to men of greater education are systematically leaner and women who marry down are both fatter and heavier. These findings in spouse pairs sharing a common family income suggest that assortative mating with respect to educational level accounts for much of the socioeconomic effect in fatness including the fatness differences between women who marry down and those who marry up. These data also demonstrate that women are not fatter than men at al socioeconomic levels.
