Interestingly, this only applies to women who do not have higher education. Women who have a higher education and employment would have a longer life. Based on some research, life expectancy is influenced by two things, namely employment and smoking habits.
"The risk of death decreased in women are highly educated, but increased in women less educated," said Jennifer Karas Montez, researchers at the Harvard Center Population and Development Studies, as reported by U.S. News.
Meanwhile, a similar situation was found in men. Research shows that both men educated or not, the risk of death remained low. During research in 2002 to 2006 showed that women who did not graduate from high school have a mortality risk 66 percent higher than women who graduated from high school.
For this study Montez and his colleagues collected data from 46,000 U.S. white women aged 45 to 84 years. They are listed in the survey data conducted during 1997 to 2006. The woman was then split into two groups, namely those who do not have a college education and those with higher education.
The results showed that during 1997 to 2001, the mortality rate in women who did not graduate from high school 37 percent higher than women who completed high school. But in 2002 and 2006, the number increased to 66 percent.
According to investigators, several contributing factors including poverty, housing, unemployment, and health factors such as obesity, alcohol consumption, and smoking habits. Among them, the researchers saw that the factors of unemployment and smoking are two of the most influential factors.
