Description The inverse association between education and obesity was previously found in numerous studies. However, education level per se is not directly related to obesity. Instead, other factors linked to educational disadvantage are likely to serve as mediators of the association. Lower educational levels are associated with poor lifestyle, economic disadvantage, and mental health problems, which all are risk factors of increased adiposity.
