Education Reduces the Risk of Death and Increases Life Expectancy

Education reduces the risk of death and increases life expectancy. A meta-analysis by American scientists has shown that extended time spent on education is statistically associated with a lower risk of death from all causes in adults. On average, each year of education correlated with a 1.9% reduction in the risk of death. After 18 years of education, the risk of death decreases by 34.3% compared to those who did not receive education. The greatest effect was observed in individuals aged 18 to 49 years. However, even adults over 70 years old experienced a reduction in the risk of death of approximately 0.8%.
