Being able to read with comprehension doesn’t just vastly the quality of life. Literacy can actually be the difference between life and death. That’s according to a study in the current issue of the journal Archives of Internal Medicine. The study began ten years ago when Northwestern University researchers started more than 3,000 Medicare patients. The investigators health as well as education, income, exercise, literacy, smoking and drinking habits, and chronic medical like asthma and diabetes. What they never expected to discover was that low literacy was the second leading predictor of death in their study population. Only was a stronger indicator of a poor prognosis. David Baker, the principal author of the study, said “When patients can't read, they are not able to do the things to stay healthy."
