Education is important for health on individual, family and community levels. For individuals, higher education often leads to higher income and resources  and is also connected to one's ability to access health care. More-educated people are less likely to suffer from common acute and chronic diseases (heart condition, stroke, diabetes, and asthma, though not cancer). More educated people are also more likely to exercise, use seat belts, take vaccinations. Further, the level of a mother's education is one of the most important predictors for a baby's health. The inverse is also true-- poor health can contribute to challenges and lower levels of educational attainment.
