2022, Child Abuse and NeglectCitation Excerpt :Observed links between education and health across life are so persistent over time and place that education has been labelled a “fundamental cause” of inequalities in health (Montez and Friedman, 2015). Higher levels of education are associated with lower risks of mortality (Montez and Friedman, 2015) and morbidity across life, measured using a wide range of indicators including self-rated health (Ljungdahl and Bremberg, 2015; Lynch, 2003; Ross and Wu, 1995), obesity (Hamad et al., 2018; Ljungdahl and Bremberg, 2015), cardiovascular disease (Feldman et al., 1989; Gutzwiller et al., 1989; Yang et al., 2019), depression (Lorant, 2003), cancer (Yang et al., 2019), and others, all of which are major public health issues globally. Besides health, education also gives access to other social resources, such as better paid and better quality employment, and has been associated with social outcomes such as higher social trust, more tolerant attitudes to others, and national development (Hodgson, 1998).
