Going to college can reduce your risk of stroke
A study done in Europe shows that being well-educated lowers the risk of stroke for women. 48,000 Swedish women were followed over 10 years, and the data shows that those with less education had a much higher risk -- as much as two times greater -- of having a stroke than those with higher educations.
Researchers attribute the difference mainly to socio-economic status and associated lifestyle choices, like smoking and drinking alcohol. Many people are encouraged by this study because it confirms that educating people really can improve quality of life, and that making an effort to reduce your risk factors for stroke can have a huge impact.
