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}} | |||

The global distribution of educational attainment has undergone significant changes over the past decades.{{pmid|32350468}}{{pmid|29493588}} These shifts have been associated with corresponding effects on mortality rates. For instance, increased parental education has been shown to reduce child mortality rates significantly.{{pmid|34119000}} | The global distribution of educational attainment has undergone significant changes over the past decades.{{pmid|32350468}}{{pmid|29493588}} These shifts have been associated with corresponding effects on mortality rates.
