 [[File:Relationship between education and adult mortality by age group.jpg|thumb|Relationship between education and adult mortality by age group{{pmid|38278172}}]]
-In a 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis, the effect of education on all-cause adult mortality were assessed to estimate the reduction in all-cause adult mortality associated with each year of schooling at a global level. Education showed a dose-response relationship with all-cause adult mortality, with an average reduction in mortality risk of 1.9% per additional year of education. The effect was greater in younger age groups than in older age groups, with an average reduction in mortality risk of 2.9% associated with each additional year of education for adults aged 18–49 years, compared with a 0.8% reduction for adults older than 70 years. We found no differential effect of education on all-cause mortality by sex or Socio-demographic Index level.{{pmid|38278172}}
+In a comprehensive study conducted in 2024, researchers aimed to understand how education affects the likelihood of adults dying from various causes. They found a consistent pattern: as the years of education increase, the risk of dying decreases. This relationship is known as a "dose-response" connection, meaning the more education (the "dose"), the greater the positive impact (the "response") on reducing death rates.{{pmid|38278172}}
+Key findings from this study include:
+* '''Overall Reduction in Mortality with Education''': For every additional year of schooling that an adult receives, there is an average decrease of 1.9% in their risk of dying.
+* '''Greater Impact in Younger Adults''': The benefits of education on reducing death risk vary by age. Adults between 18 to 49 years old see a larger decrease in their mortality risk, at 2.9%, for each extra year of schooling. In contrast, for adults over 70 years, the benefit is smaller, with only a 0.8% reduction in death risk per additional year of education.
+* '''No Gender or Socio-demographic Index Differences''': The study also found that the positive effect of education on reducing mortality is similar across different genders and socio-economic backgrounds. The Socio-demographic Index (SDI) combines information on the economy, education, and fertility rate of countries around the world, as a representation of social and economic development. The life expectancy per country closely correlates to SDI.
+In summary, this research highlights the significant role of education in enhancing longevity, particularly noting its stronger impact among younger adults. It underscores the universal benefits of education across different segments of the population.
