亲属关系在巴基斯坦很普遍。在巴基斯坦，大多数关于血缘关系的研究都是在城市大都市地区进行的，关于农村人口的数据很少。本横断面研究是在巴基斯坦旁遮普省上萨戈达区进行的，那里的大多数人口居住在农村地区。随机抽取萨戈达区6个县1800名已婚妇女，调查其亲缘率和近交系数(F)的差异。亲缘率为56.72%，近交系数为0.0348。近亲婚姻的比例最高（占所有婚姻的49.11%），远亲/比拉达里的婚姻占所有婚姻的67.94%。6个县的血亲率从巴尔瓦尔省的50.38%到西兰瓦利省的62.88%不等。在说旁遮普语的人、包办婚姻的人和从事专业工作的人身上观察到高的血缘关系。就丈夫的职业而言，土地所有者（77.59%,F = 0.0539）和商人（62.62%,F = 0.0377）的亲缘率最高。然而，血缘关系似乎与农村/城市出身或文化水平无关。数据显示，在萨戈达地区人口中，不同社会人口阶层的亲缘率和近交系数差异很大。Sargodha与旁遮普其他人群的比较也显示了血缘模式的区域异质性，值得进一步研究。
Consanguinity is widespread in Pakistan. The majority of studies on consanguinity in Pakistan have been carried out in urban metropolitan areas, and data on rural populations are scarce. The present cross-sectional study was conducted in Sargodha district, upper Punjab, Pakistan where the majority of the population reside in rural areas. A random sample of 1800 married females belonging to six tehsils of Sargodha district was obtained and differentials in consanguinity rates and inbreeding coefficient (F) were investigated. The consanguinity rate was calculated to be 56.72% and the inbreeding coefficient was 0.0348. First cousin unions had the highest representation (49.11% of all marriages), and marriages up to distantly related/Biradari constituted 67.94% of all marriages. Among the six tehsils, consanguinity rates ranged from 50.38% in Bhalwal to 62.88% in Sillanwali. A high rate of consanguinity was observed in subjects speaking the Punjabi language, those with self-arranged/arranged-love marriages and those engaged in professional jobs. With respect to the occupation of husbands the highest consanguinity rate was found among landowners (77.59%; F = 0.0539) and businessmen (62.62%; F = 0.0377). However, consanguinity did not appear to be associated with rural/urban origin or literacy level. The data showed a wide variation in consanguinity rate and inbreeding coefficient across socio-demographic strata in the Sargodha district population. A comparison of Sargodha with other populations of Punjab also showed regional heterogeneity in the pattern of consanguinity, warranting further studies.
