Mediators in the relationship of education to health were examined to further explicate education as a resource.
Income, life satisfaction, services, and social support were assessed as mediators of the education-health relationship following criteria developed by Baron and Kenny and Holmbeck as applied to four aspects of health. A probability sample of 1,667 participants (age 55 and older) was interviewed in their homes.
Education was related to all health measures and to all mediators; all mediators were related to all health measures. Education continued to have significant relationships to all health measures after each mediator was entered, but its contribution was lower in each analysis. Life satisfaction was consistently a strong mediator.
Low-energy aspects of health may be more likely to be mediated by variables of a more psychological nature. Overall, educational attainment is a good investment for successful aging.
研究教育与健康关系中的中介因素，以进一步阐明教育作为一种资源的作用。
按照Baron和Kenny以及Holmbeck制定的标准，评估收入、生活满意度、服务和社会支持作为教育与健康关系的中介因素，这些标准应用于健康的四个方面。对1667名参与者（年龄在55岁及以上）进行了概率抽样，并在他们家中进行了访谈。
教育与所有健康指标以及所有中介因素都相关；所有中介因素与所有健康指标都相关。在纳入每个中介因素后，教育与所有健康指标仍保持显著关系，但在每次分析中其贡献都有所降低。生活满意度始终是一个强有力的中介因素。
健康的低活力方面可能更有可能由更具心理性质的变量介导。总体而言，教育程度是成功老龄化的一项良好投资。
