Life Expectancy Tied to Education

Life Expectancy in the United States is on the increase, but only among people with more than 12 years of education, a new study finds. In fact, those with more than 12 years of education - more than a high school diploma - can expect to live to 82: for those with 12 or fewer years of education, life expectancy is 75.

The study was published in the March/April issue of Health Affairs.
