Loehr & O'Hara (2013) examined data gathered from Finnish national archives pertaining to Finnish conscripts who fought in the {{w|Winter War}} against the Soviet Union that lasted from 30 November 1939 to 13 March 1940. The researchers examined photographs of the soldiers to calculate their fWHR (Facial-width to height ratio), which has been stated in previous studies to be associated with greater survival rates from traumatic injury, mating success, and aggression. | Loehr & O'Hara (2013) examined data gathered from Finnish national archives pertaining to Finnish conscripts who fought in the {{w|Winter War}} against the Soviet Union that lasted from 30 November 1939 to 13 March 1940.

They found that men with wider faces had higher lifetime [[reproductive success|reproductive success]] (controlling for their chance of surviving the war). However, fWHR was not found to be significantly correlated with the chance of surviving the conflict. The researchers stated that this was possibly due to the use of modern weaponry in the war, as opposed to previous studies finding that fWHR increased rates of combat survival only for close-range (meleé) encounters. | They found that men with wider faces had higher lifetime [[reproductive success|reproductive success]] (controlling for their chance of surviving the war).
