(FUVEST 2014 - Primeira Fase)

To live the longest and healthiest life possible, get smarter. Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation

(IHME) data show that past a certain threshold, health and wealth are just weakly correlated. However,

overall health is closely tied to how many years people spend in school. Mexico, for instance, has a fifth

the per capita gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States, but, for women, more than 50 percent

of the latters schooling.

In line with the trend, Mexicos female adult mortality rate is only narrowly higher. Vietnam and Yemen

have roughly equivalent per capita GDP. Yet Vietnamese women average 6.3 more years in school and

are half as likely to die between the ages of 15 and 60. Economic growth is also significantly associated

with child mortality reductions, but the magnitude of the association is much smaller than that of increased

education, comments Emmanuela Gakidou, IHMEs director of education and training. One year of

schooling gives you about 10 percent lower mortality rates, whereas with a 10 percent increase in GDP,

your mortality rate would go down only by 1 to 2 percent.
