The study on education and health is particularly interesting because these two are fundamental components of human capital. In the contemporary United States, having a college degree is associated with a variety of health-related benefits, primarily because college-educated people maintain healthier lifestyles, have fewer functional limitations, are less likely to be disabled, and are less likely to suffer from chronic diseases (Bauldry, 2014). . Furthermore, according to the study by Mirowsky and Ross (2003), people with college education have lower mortality rates. In this context and for many years the link between education and health has aroused great interest and has become the object of investigation by sociologists from various countries, who have wanted to systematise every causality, correlation and path, direct or indirect. In fact, most of the articles and empirical studies conducted on this topic indicate that higher education leads to improved health even when it is controlled for different indicators of socio-economic status and demographic characteristics (Xie and Mo, 2014 ). Studying the causality of education on health is particularly important for designing appropriate policies whose goal is to improve health through promoting education and determining the rate of return on education financing (Xie and Mo, 2014). For example, Ross and Wu's (1995) cross-sectional and over-time analysis of the relationship between health (self-reported health and physical functioning) and education demonstrates a positive association between the two and further elaborates the reasons for this. Ross and Wu (1995) group reasons into three different categories as follows: (1) working and economic conditions, (2) socio-psychological… middle of paper… mechanism groupings. Fundamentally, the SEM results predict that most of the association between education and adult health is mediated by smoking and a sense of control - educated. According to the reported SPSS output, there is a positive relationship between education and health, basically as the number of years in school increases the individual's self-reported health and improves. Compared to the different European countries, as can be seen from the segmented regression, in all countries there is a positive relationship between education and health (the coefficient is negative because health is measured on a decreasing scale, lower values ​​indicate better health conditions) but the entity, i.e. the size of the coefficient, is different, so a common educational policy aimed at improving health and well-being is possible in the European Union.
