[ Despite exam stress, a long stint in education is good for people's blood pressure, according to researchers in the US.
The British Heart Foundation said the findings supported the link between deprivation and heart disease risk.
The study looked at 30 years of data from 3,890 people who were being followed as part of the Framingham Offspring Study.
People were divided into three groups, low education (12 years or less), middle education (13 to 16 years) and high education (17 years or more).
The average systolic blood pressure for the 30 year period was then calculated.]
