The education level is an important factor in determining overall health. Higher education leads to better paying jobs and greater accessibility to other resources, such as food or housing. Additionally, being informed about one’s health through educational programs or classes can help individuals make healthier lifestyle choices thus reducing their risk for certain illnesses or conditions.
