Educated Americans live longer, as others die younger, by The Economist, Mar 17th 2021

According to a research,  a 25-YEAR-OLD American with a university degree can expect to live a decade longer than a contemporary who dropped out of high school. 

Although researchers have long known that the rich live longer than the poor, this education gap is less well documented—and is especially marked in rich countries. And whereas the average American’s expected span has been flat in recent years—and, strikingly, even fell between 2015 and 2017—that of the one-third with a bachelor’s degree has continued to lengthen.

A college degree is becoming the main factor accounting for the difference in expected lifespans.

Every year spent in education improves your life expectancy, By Euronews, 

Jan, 27, 2024

A new study has revealed the link between mortality and education, comparing not having any education to smoking or drinking.

The findings "are similar to the protective effects of a good diet and physical activity and the harms of risk factors such as smoking and alcohol,” Dr Terje Andreas Eikemo, co-author and head of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)’s Centre for Global Health Inequalities Research, said in a statement.

According to the researchers, People who completed primary school had an average 13 per cent lower risk of death, while those who completed secondary school (with 12 years of education) had a 25 per cent lower risk of death compared to those who did not. People with 18 years of education had a 34 per cent reduction in mortality risk.

“By increasing years of global schooling, we can help counteract growing disparities in mortality,” the authors said.

UK study confirms healthy habits can extend lifespan, even with genetic predispositions, By Pooja Toshniwal Paharia, Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM,

Apr 29 2024

In a recent study published in BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine, researchers investigated the associations between lifestyle, genetic factors, and human longevity.

Hereditary and non-hereditary variables, such as lifestyle activities, influence the human lifespan.

Excessive alcohol intake, chronic tobacco use, prolonged physical inactivity, and unhealthy dietary habits contribute to premature mortality.

Studies have reported negative relationships between body obesity, smoking, coronary heart disease susceptibility, and a longer lifetime.

A health-conscious lifestyle may reduce genetic vulnerability to a shortened lifespan; however, further research could clarify the combined impact of genetic variables and lifestyle choices.
