520 |a There is a baronial and persistent relation between education and health. Education and Health of people is the positive sign of socio-economic and human development of a nation. It has also been rightly recognised that the improvement in the quality of human resources, by way of education and health, contributes not only to economic development, but also to the general well being of the nation. Kerala has received worldwide attention on account of its remarkable achievements in the field of education and health. Generally Keralites are more health conscious and the percentage of health insured people is increasing in the state. Now-a-days, Kerala state is badly affected by almost all diseases which were tactfully checked around the world. The low mortality and high morbidity syndrome in Kerala’s health situation is a live topic subject to analyses. This situation creates some serious doubts about the positive correlation between education and health indicators. This study tries to analyse the influence of education and income on health status of people. This study is based on both secondary and primary data. For analysis, the simple statistical tools like percentages, tables, graphs, and the other methods like indexing, correlation, simple and multiple regressions, hypothesis testing tools were used. The regression result of Aggregate Health Index and Education is AHI= 5.05 + 0.553YEdnI, shows that one year of education will make 0.553 unit changes in Aggregate Health Index on average and 27.1% of variation in aggregate health index is due to education. The regression result of aggregate health index with income is AHI = 10.3 +0.000105MY, exhibits positive relation between them. The Multiple regression of Aggregate Health Index with education and income is AHI = 5.50 + 0.450YEdn + 0.000067MY. This study reveals that education and income will make positive significant impact on health of people. Since education makes positive impacts on health, it is necessary to provide the access of education to each and every individual irrespective of the caste, creed or area.
