| Annotation | This study examined the impact of education on the mortality of older Taiwanese during a 4-year interval (1989-1993). Data were drawn from the Taiwan Survey of Health and Living Status of the Elderly (1989). The effect of education was decomposed into direct and indirect effects by means of health status, health behaviours and social relationships. Results showed that of the total effect of educational attainment on the mortality of older Taiwanese, about 83% represents indirect influences by means of three mediating factors, particularly health status. On the other hand, the magnitude of the direct effect was low and not statistically significant. (AKM). |
