美國田納西大學的一項研究顯示，不管是短期內還是長遠來看，妻子的體質指數越低，夫妻雙方對婚姻的滿意度就越高。 |
| They discovered that men who had a higher BMI, which is calculated from height and weight, were happier at the start of their marriage and stayed that way, and wives with a lower BMI than their husbands were significantly happier than those who weighed the same or more. |
體質指數即為身高體重指數。英國《每日郵報》報道稱，如果男方的體質指數較高，那么婚姻一開始就會很幸福，且這種狀態會一直延續下去；而體質指數比丈夫低的女人也比那些和丈夫的體質指數一樣或者還要高的女人更加幸福。 |

Lead author Andrea Meltzer said: "The great message from our study is that women of any size can be happy in their relationships with the right partner. It's relative weight that matters, not absolute weight."

該研究的主要作者安德列婭·梅爾澤說：“我們的研究傳達出的重要信息就是：任何體型的女人與合適的伴侶在一起都可以很幸福。因為真正重要的是相對體重，而非絕對體重。” |
