Study shows that good academic performance could lead to better health

Research from the University of Wisconsin, Madison shows that academic performance in high school can play a crucial role in the health of students when they become adults.

The study surveyed nearly 10,000 graduates of the state’s high school class of 1957 on academic performance and health. Researchers found that the higher the individual’s class rank was, the lower the probability of health problems was as they neared retirement age.

However, researchers said they that are still seeking the exact link between academic performance and health. They speculated that conscientiousness might be a possible connection, because those who are more aware of their education could also be more perceptive of their well-being.

Researchers suggested that this study shows the importance of education, and said that what individuals learn early in their schooling could have major implications later in their lives.

Boarding school can be a way for children who are academically underachieving to take part in an environment conducive to learning, which can help them obtain better grades.
