A long stint in education is good for people's blood pressure, according to researchers in the US.
High blood pressure, or hypertension, is linked to heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure. Higher levels of education have previously been linked to lower levels of heart disease. The researchers suggest that blood pressure could be the reason why. The study also shows the link is stronger in women than in men.
Published in the journal BMC Public Health, the study looked at 30 years of data from 3,890 people who were being followed as part of the Framingham Offspring Study.
