Providence, Rodhe Island, If you want to have longevity, do not hesitate to continue their education up to master's or doctoral level. Higher education can lower blood pressure on average, so less susceptible to strokes and heart attacks.
High blood pressure or hypertension is one risk factor for stroke and heart attack. According to the Blood Pressure Association, people with hypertension had a risk 2-fold more likely to die prematurely due to failure of cardiac function and blood vessels.
In addition to diet and lifestyle is affected, the risk of hypertension is also associated with one's education level. A recent study proved that graduates of S1, S2 and S3 had a lower risk than high school graduates to have hypertension.
Research conducted by experts from Brown University in Rodhe Island is involved 4,000 men and women with different academic backgrounds. Jejang education and everyday lives of the volunteers were observed continuously for 30 years.
The results showed, college graduates had an average blood pressure 2.26 mm Hg lower than those of volunteers who never graduated from high school. Although there is also the male volunteers, this difference is more striking observed in women volunteers.
The researchers speculate, blood pressure was lower in college graduates is influenced by several factors. Among others, scholars have a chance to get good jobs with lower stress levels than those who never graduated from high school.
High levels of education also prevented the scholars from the risk of stress due to early marriage. According to the study, high school dropout, especially women tend to marry and have children at a younger age than the scholar.
"Women with low education more at risk of depression, divorce and being a single parent then living below the poverty line," said one researcher, Dr Eric Loucks
