Mortality Attributable to Low Levels of Education in the United States
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
Based on U.S. mortality data from 1986-2006, an estimated 145,243 deaths in 2010 alone could be attributed to adults not having a high school degree. Much of the link between education and mortality appears causal, with the impact greatest for cardiovascular disease, and a growing gap between the least and most educated over time. Hundreds of thousands of fewer deaths would occur annually if everyone had at least a Bachelor's degree.

People with less education tend to die earlier than those with more education, and this gap is getting bigger. Many more people would be alive each year if everyone had a bachelor's degree.

Explicación de la calificación
This is a strong study using a large, nationally-representative dataset with appropriate statistical methods. However, it suffers from some limitations regarding omitted confounders and unmeasured quality of education, preventing a perfect score.
