Overall, 739 persons entered same- sex marriage at age 18-32 years during 5.6 million person- years of follow-up. We used linear regression to calculate differences in mean body measures at birth and Poisson regression analysis to calculate confounder-adjusted incidence rate ratios (IRR) of same- sex marriage according to body measures at birth. We studied associations between weight, length, and body mass index (BMI) at birth and same- sex marriage in young adulthood among 818,671 Danes. In contrast, reports suggest that gay men may be, on average, slightly lighter and shorter than heterosexual men.
