Education influences health in several ways. Educated people have higher socioeconomic status and better lifestyle than illiterate ones. This book focuses on the relationships between level of formal education and subjective physical health status, mediating through socioeconomic status (occupation, income & family property), sociodemographic status (age structure, marriage & family pattern), and lifestyle (sense of personal control, timing of meal, bathing, smoking) between Muslim, Hindu and Santal adult men in Bangladesh. The book contributes to educational and social discrimination may negatively influence minority men's subjective physical health and social well-being.
