Getting ready for the marriage market? A comment.
This text comments on the article by Lundborg et al. 'Getting ready for the marriage market? The association between divorce risks and investments in attractive body mass among married Europeans' published in July 2007 in this journal. This commentary presents differing results from the original data using multilevel analysis for calculation. The results presented here suggest there is no significant relation between divorce risk and body mass index (BMI) among married individuals in European countries. Therefore, the primary finding of Lundborg et al. (2007) is questioned.
