Abstract


In this paper we have studied consanguinity in the population of the French Cerdagne (a Pyrenean valley) from 1836 until 1990. Calculation of consanguineous marriage frequencies and of the coefficient a reveals that consanguinity in this population is slightly lower than in other Pyrenean populations. Analysis of variability over time shows a decrease in the consanguinity levels during the above-mentioned period. The consanguinity pattern is similar in all parts of the area considered.
