摘要

Educational attainment is typically determined by the time one reaches early adulthood. However, its effects on health are cumulative across the life course. The cumulative nature of the relationship between educational attainment and health highlights the need to explore the potential benefits of continuous adult education (e.g., lifelong learning). Thus, we hypothesize that participation in lifelong learning attenuates the effects of educational attainment on health in later life. This study is among the first to examine the association between lifelong learning activity and health with the use of a nationally representative sample of adults aged 50 years and older (2012 Health and Retirement Study; n = 6,829). Structural equation models with bootstrapping were used to examine the mediation effect of lifelong learning activity in the relationship between educational attainment and self-rated health. Results showed that approximately 6–10% of the education effect [95% bootstrap confidence interval (lower limit, upper limit) = (0.033, 0.052)] on self-rated health was mediated by lifelong learning activity [95% bootstrap confidence interval (lower limit, upper limit) = (0.002, 0.006)] even after adjusting for the sociodemographic characteristics as well as major health determinants (e.g., physical activity, smoking, etc.). Findings suggest that engagement in lifelong learning provides an opportunity to promote older adults’ health regardless of formal educational attainment established in early adulthood. Public health implications point to lifelong learning as a potential autonomous and sustainable strategy to reduce socioeconomic disparities in health, which could be incorporated into education and public health policies to promote such efforts.
