Abstract
This study presents an empirical analysis of not only the effect of education on the health behaviors and health status of married couples but also the crossover effect of education between married couples. First, basic statistics show that wives perform better vis-à-vis dietary health behaviors, whereas husbands perform better with regard to exercise and medical checkups. Furthermore, the crossover effect between educational levels is more pronounced for the effect from wives to husbands than vice versa. Among various health behaviors, medical checkups showed the clearest effect of educational background, and crossover effect was confirmed for both husbands and wives.
