title: [Marital structure of the Kursk population].
abstract: Age characteristics, national composition, migration processes, and the level of inbreeding among Kursk citizens were analyzed on the basis of a sampling study of marriages registered in Kursk in 1960 and 1989. Assortative marriages in reference to age were r = 0.910 in 1960 and r = 0.904 in 1989. The polychoric relationship index characterizing national correlation of married pairs was K = 0.440 in 1960 and K = 0.405 in 1989. Positive assortive mating in reference to the birthplace of the married pairs was revealed: K = 0.190 in 1960; K = 0.161 in 1989. The coefficient of local population relationship (a) was 0.000026 in 1960 and 0.000011 in 1989.
