- español
El objetivo de este capítulo es analizar los determinantes del celibato a los 45 años en las generaciones nacidas entre 1785 y 1965. Analizando por separado a hombres y mujeres, en base a variables individuales, familiares, económicas, nutricionales, físicas y de comportamiento. Para ello, vamos a dividir el período en dos subperíodos, uno pre transicional (nacidos entre 1785 y 1900) y otro transicional y postransicional (nacidos entre 1900 y 1965). Los microdatos para el análisis provienen de nueve municipios rurales de la región de Aragón, en el noreste de España. Los resultados destacan la influencia del contexto familiar, económico, nutricional y físico en el estado civil a los 45 años.

The aim of this article is to analyze the determinants of celibacy at 45 years of age in the generations born between 1785 and 1965. Men and women will be analyzed separately, based on individual variables, such as family, economic, nutritional, physical and behavioural factors. To do this we will divide the period into two sub-periods, one pre-transitional (born between 1785 and 1900) and another transitional and post-transitional (born between 1900 and 1965). The micro data for the analysis comes from nine rural municipalities of the region of Aragon, in north-eastern Spain. The results will highlight the influence of the family, economic, nutritional and physical contexts on the marital status at the age of 45.
