许多研究表明，完成正规教育的年限是健康状况最重要的相关因素。对于这种相关性是否反映了更多的教育与更好的健康之间的因果关系，人们的共识要少得多。这种关系可以部分地追溯到反向因果关系，也可能反映出“被忽略的第三个变量”，这些变量导致健康和学校教育朝着同一方向变化。在过去35年中，出现了大量以上述问题为重点的文献。我在本文中处理这些文献以及从中可以学到什么。
Many studies suggest that years of formal schooling completed is the most important correlate of good health. There is much less consensus as to whether this correlation reflects causality from more schooling to better health. The relationship may be traced in part to reverse causality and may also reflect "omitted third variables'' that cause health and schooling to vary in the same direction. The past three and a half decades have witnessed the development of a large literature focusing on the issue just raised. I deal with that literature and what can be learned from it in this paper.
