People without a higher education are more likely to suffer from heart disease

Professor Tarani Chandola from Manchester University analyzed data from 4311 the British, who were born in 1958. As it turned out, men who have graduated from a secondary school, was 4% chance of heart disease after 50 years. At the same time those who still received at the age of 30 - 42 years of higher education, the risk to get heart problems decreased by 3%. Similar results were obtained and research among women.

"Inequality in health is a serious concern in the UK and other countries. We need to think not only about their own future, but also about what we can do to improve the health of those who have not had the opportunity to get an education, "- said Chandola.

"Although this study does not prove that the return to education in adulthood will automatically improve your health, we give hope to those who complete school without any qualification", - he added.

Earlier, a team of scientists from University College London found that people without higher education will grow old. This is due to the fact that they are more dependent on bad habits, rarely participate in sports. In addition, they can not afford high-quality medicine, which can afford their more educated peers.
