Abstract
⺠This study determined the health gradient for multiple health outcomes across detailed educational categories in the US. ⺠We found a 'glitch' in the health gradient for adults with some college and with associate degrees. ⺠These groups reported more health problems and conditions than high school graduates who have less education. ⺠Reporting bias and reverse causality are unlikely to explain this pattern. ⺠We urge researchers to use a detailed classification of postsecondary educational attainment in future research.
