Quite a small sample size. Hard to tell from the abstract, but that looks to me more like absence of evidence than evidence of absence

This one goes in the same direction: https://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/828570788282433541 … Indications accumulate!
Rolf Degen added,
Another fairly small sample, but more importantly, a very homogeneous one. I'm still going with absence of evidence.
I have seen and posted several studies on the relationship between attractiveness and health, in both sexes, over the last two years, and they were all negative. Good genes are dead.
Here's a review paper that finds moderate, though not conclusive, evidence, that such a link exists http://bit.ly/2CctuXT pic.twitter.com/Ke8pPEVA0o

I know this, but the older, positive results have fallen prey to the decline effect, were artificially positive and could not be replicated in better research. Now the effect is also contested in animal studies.https://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/1005115295520972807 …
Rolf Degen added,
Do you have links to this "better research"?
That are not even all negative results I posted, because I often did not use the "good genes" label.
