Many studies have demonstrated that higher levels of education are associated with longer life expectancy, but none has been able to determine the extent to which education can reduce mortality.
A study published in The Lancet Public Health journal reveals that each year spent in school or university may enhance life expectancy. Analyzing data from 59 countries, the study, which includes over 10,000 data points from 600 published articles, concludes that education has a life-saving impact, irrespective of age, gender, location, or socio-demographic background.
