Longevity Up in U.S., but Education Creates Disparity, Study Says

Americans live longer than they used to, but there is a correlation between college education and premature death. Premature death differs across contries, this is because of the difference in lack of college education in certain countries. Going to college sets up a future of how long you will live and sets up the future of how well you will be off. For the study they use indicators such as obesity and other things to decide how one area can affect one's life.
