ABSTRACT
Improvements in life expectancy are associated with
the education level of the population. Both kinds of indicators are
also associated with socio-ecpnomic status. However, an independent,
direct effect of education status on health status can also be
documented. Some issues that may explain this relationship are the
ability to recognise disease as an objective process that can be
influenced through practical measures and the ability to
operationalise the probabilistic notion of risk and its
implications. Physicians performance is related to the ability to
follow probabilistic logic and statistical arguments, as most
scientific results on which clinical practice is based are
probabilistic.
