教育程度是公认的健康社会决定因素。它通过多种机制影响健康，如神经发育、生物衰老、健康素养和健康行为、控制感和赋权以及生命机会。教育——从学前班到大学以后——也是健康的社会决定因素之一，有明确的干预政策途径。我们回顾了幼儿期、幼儿园至 12 年级和高等教育研究的证据，以确定教育政策和计划的哪些组成部分对于良好的健康结果至关重要。我们讨论了对公共卫生干预和健康公平的影响。
Educational attainment is a well-established social determinant of health. It affects health through many mechanisms such as neural development, biological aging, health literacy and health behaviors, sense of control and empowerment, and life chances. Education-from preschool to beyond college-is also one of the social determinants of health for which there are clear policy pathways for intervention. We reviewed evidence from studies of early childhood, kindergarten through 12th grade, and higher education to identify which components of educational policies and programs are essential for good health outcomes. We have discussed implications for public health interventions and health equity.
