  text: We study the effect of education on health (hospital stays, number of diagnosed
    conditions, self-rated poor health, and obesity) over the life-cycle in Germany,
    using compulsory schooling reforms as a source of exogenous variation. Our results
    suggest a positive correlation of health and education which increases over the
    life-cycle. We do not, however, find any positive local average treatment effects
    of an additional year of schooling on health or health care utilization for individuals
    up to age 79. An exception is obesity, where positive effects of schooling start
    to be visible around age 60 and become very large in age group 75-79. The results
    in age group 75-79 need to be interpreted with caution, however, due to small
    sample size and possible problems of attrition.
