A recent global study published in The Lancet has highlighted the correlation between education and longevity, indicating that higher levels of education may lead to a reduced risk of mortality. The study, which involved data from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), quantified this relationship, revealing that each additional year of schooling is associated with a 1.9% reduction in mortality risk, with the effect being more pronounced at younger ages. This research supports the concept of education as a social determinant of health, suggesting that the benefits of prolonged education extend beyond economic advantages to include significant health benefits.
