Consanguineous Marriages Among Iranian Mandaeans Living in South-West Iran
Several studies have indicated that consanguineous marriages (unions between biologically related persons) are associated with increased risk of autosomal recessive diseases and several multifactorial traits. Mandaeans are a closed ethno-religious community living in areas of southern Iraq and Iran (Khuzestan Province). There are currently no data on the prevalence of consanguineous marriages among Mandaeans. The present study was carried out in …
A study of consanguineous marriage as a risk factor for developing comitant strabismus
Prevalence of Consanguineous Marriages Among Shi'a Populations of Lebanon
In genetics, a consanguineous marriage means union between couples who are related as second cousins or closer. The present cross-sectional study was carried out in order to illustrate the prevalence and types of consanguineous marriages in the Shi'a population living in widespread territories in Lebanon including the Bekaa Valley, the south of Lebanon and the southern suburb of Beirut. Data on types of marriages were collected using a simple que…
Prevalence of Consanguineous Marriages in West and South of Afghanistan
The prevalence of consanguinity in eight provinces of Afghanistan has recently been reported by Saify & Saadat (2012). The present cross-sectional study was done in order to illustrate the prevalence and types of consanguineous marriages among other populations of Afghanistan. Data on types of marriages were collected using a simple questionnaire. The total number of couples in this study was 5200 from the following provinces: Farah, Ghazni, Hera…
Consanguineous Marriages in Afghanistan
The present cross-sectional study was done in order to illustrate the prevalence and types of consanguineous marriages among Afghanistan populations. Data on types of marriages were collected using a simple questionnaire. The total number of couples in the study was 7140 from the following provinces: Badakhshan, Baghlan, Balkh, Bamyan, Kabul, Kunduz, Samangan and Takhar. Consanguineous marriages were classified by the degree of relationship betwe…
Association Between Healthy Life Expectancy at Birth and Consanguineous Marriages in 63 Countries
In order to investigate the association between mean inbreeding coefficient (α) and healthy life expectancy at birth (HALE; years) the present ecological study on 63 countries was done. Statistical analysis showed that HALE negatively and positively correlated with log 10 α and log 10 GNI per capita , respectively ( p 10 α and log 10 GNI per capita were significantly correlated with each other ( p 10 GNI per capita , significant negative correlat…
Prevalence of Consanguineous Marriages Among Iranian Georgians
Consanguineous marriage – marriage between relatives – has received a great deal of attention as a potential risk factor for many adverse health outcomes. The present cross-sectional study was done in order to illustrate the prevalence and types of consanguineous marriages among Iranian Georgians living in Frydoonshahr (Isfahan province, central Iran). Data on consanguineous marriages were collected using a simple questionnaire. The total number …
Effect of Inbreeding on Weight Gain of Offspring From Birth to 12 Months After Birth
Consanguinity, the marriage between relatives, has been associated with adverse child health outcomes. The objective of the present study was to assess the effect of consanguinity on offspring weight gain from birth to 12 months after birth. Data were collected on 250 consecutive live-born singleton newborns referred to a local health centre in Shiraz (Fars province, southern Iran). Collected data covered socio-demographic characteristics (such a…
Prevalence of Consanguineous Marriages in Syria
Consanguineous marriage is the union of individuals having at least one common ancestor. The present cross-sectional study was done in order to illustrate the prevalence and types of consanguineous marriages in the Syrian Arab Republic. Data on consanguineous marriages were collected using a simple questionnaire. The total number of couples in this study was 67,958 (urban areas: 36,574 couples; rural areas: 31,384 couples) from the following prov…
Offspring sex ratio at birth in mountain climbers
Frisher and Forsyth1 question whether the number of problematic drug users (PDUs) has increased or decreased in the 21st century, what the impact of treatment has been, particularly with reference to drugs-related deaths, and the Drug Harm Index’s reliance on readily available published data. These and other questions, particularly about injector incidence, off-injecting rates and model, as well as statistical, uncertainty, are addressed in 21st …
Is Consanguineous Marriage Historically Encouraged?
I read with great interest Akrami and Osati’s article entitled ‘Is consanguineous marriage religiously encouraged? Islamic and Iranian considerations’ published in the March 2007 issue of the Journal of Biosocial Science (Akrami & Osati, 2007). The authors showed that in many Islamic sources, there is no sign that could be described as encouraging cousin marriages. I would like to make a few comments about it.
Decline in Sex Ratio at Birth After Bam (Kerman Province, Southern Iran) Earthquake
On 26th December 2003, a severe earthquake hit the city of Bam in Kerman province, southern Iran. It destroyed around 90% of houses and at least 60% of the public buildings, and claimed the lives of more than 20,000 persons. To investigate whether acute stress caused by the Bam earthquake could alter the sex ratio at birth (SRB) 6–12 months later, the present study was done. The number of live births by sex was obtained from the National Organiza…
Consanguinity and national IQ scores
Generally, inbreeding is associated with loss of biological fitness. For countries such as Iran, where consanguineous marriages are common,1 the association between consanguinity and intelligence is very important for public health programmes. National IQs were calculated in relation to a mean IQ of 100 and standard deviation of 15 in Britain.2 The inbreeding coefficient is the probability that an individual has received both alleles of a pair fr…
Altitude, latitude and sex ratio at birth in Iran
It has been reported that sex ratio at birth (SRB; the ratio of male to total live births) in Europe declines with increase in latitude.1 However, the same authors observed that changes in SRB by increasing latitude in North America compared to Europe are the reverse, and they could not explain this finding.2 The aim of the present study was to test two null hypothesis that there are no differences in the ratio of male births to total births in I…
Correlation between incidences of hospitalised accidental burns and deprivation scores
Food safety has become one of the biggest concerns in China, and this may not only put the health of the population at risk but also threaten the validity of epidemiological studies investigating the possible relationship between diet and risk of disease in the country

Offspring sex ratio in men exposed to electromagnetic fields
Ansari-Lari et al 1 reported that the sex ratio (proportion male) of offspring of men exposed to petroleum fuel is significantly low as contrasted with controls. If confirmed, this is an important result. It is in contrast with reports of significantly high offspring sex
Short ReportConsanguineous marriage in Iran
Consanguineous marriage is a major feature of family systems in south-west Asia. The aim of the present study was to determine the current prevalence and patterns of consanguinity in Iran as a means of assessing the associated requirement for genetic counselling services. Consanguinity was studied in 12 ethnic/religious populations, the Persians (Shi'a and Sunni), Kurds (Shi'a and Sunni), Lurs, Azaris, Baluchis, Zabolis, Turkamans, Bakhtiaris, Gh…
