Higher Education Leads to Improved Brain Injury Recovery
People with more education tend to recover better from traumatic brain injuries.
That’s according to a new Johns Hopkins study of more than 700 patients with moderate to severe brain injuries.
Researchers found patients with a college degree were 7 times more likely to be disability-free a year later, compared to patients who didn’t graduate from high school.
Researchers say more educated people have more active brains, making them more resilient to injury. Â
