Study finds link between health and IQ

There are worrying test results coming out of Sweden, a test of one million Swedish males has found that there is a distinct link between those men who had higher IQ’s and their health.

However, the discovery is that those found with higher IQ’s were less likely to suffer from health related issues and that their risk of dying was less than those with lower IQ’s.

This study is found to carry greater weight as a similar study carried out by a Wellcome Trust researcher at the MRC Social and Public Health Sciences Unit in Glasgow, Scotland.

They found that a lower IQ can be directly associated with early death from suicide, heart disease and accidents.

No wonder governments around the world put so much effort into education.
