Education is a powerful predictor of mortality in the United States
Lack of high school education accounts for the income inequality effect
in the United States and is a powerful predictor of variation in
mortality. Differences in mortality are due to economic resource
deprivation, risk of occupational injury, and learnt risk behaviour.
Muller (p 23) found that education absorbs the income inequality
effect and is a more powerful predictor of mortality than income
equality in US states.
