Extensive research has consistently demonstrated a strong correlation between educational attainment and longevity.{{pmid|30340847}}{{pmid|32679112}} Higher levels of education are often associated with longer life expectancy. This relationship is believed to be influenced by various factors, including improved health behaviors, better access to healthcare, higher income, and improved social and psychological well-being associated with educational attainment.{{pmid|20943581}}{{pmid|20943582}}{{pmid|28875332}} | Extensive research has consistently demonstrated a strong correlation between educational attainment and longevity.{{pmid|30340847}}{{pmid|32679112}} Higher levels of education are often associated with longer life expectancy.

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 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.
