Health, schooling and lifestyle among young adults in Finland

Abstract: SummaryThis was a longitudinal, general population study based on a Northern Finland 1966 Birth Cohort, using a structural equation approach to estimate the health production function and health input functions for four lifestyle variables (smoking, alcohol consumption, exercise and unhealthy diet) for males and females. In particular, we examined the productive and allocative effects of education on health. We used 15D, a generic measure of healthrelated quality of life, as a single index score measure but we… Show more

“…It is therefore much in line with results from earlier economic studies [16,21,46,47]. The study of Häkkinen et al [26] also identifies a significantly positive connection between education and general health, but it stresses the allocative efficiency of education via lifestyle choices, as opposed to the productive efficiency of education; both findings are exclusively for males. In our study, education seems to play an important role in reducing caries via its dominant direct effect rather than its indirect effect through dental care use (cf.…”

“…The 'health gradient' literature links problem drinking with education (Cutler and Lleras-Muney, 2006;Furne´e et al, 2008), with several studies finding that more educated people consume less alcohol in ethanol equivalents (Baltagi and Griffin, 1995;Sharpe et al, 2001;Ha¨kkinen et al, 2006). A niche within this literature focusses on excessive drinking.…”
