Contrasts in alcohol‐related mortality in Czechia and Lithuania: Analysis of time trends and educational differences
Introduction and Aims. Globally, Czechia and Lithuania are among the top‐ranking countries in terms of high alcohol consumption. This study highlights notable contrasts in temporal trends in alcohol‐related mortality and identifies country‐specific patterns in educational differences. Design and Methods. The study uses harmonised cause‐of‐death series from the Human Cause of Death Database. Mortality disparities by education were assessed using c…
Impact of alcohol on mortality in Eastern Europe: Trends and policy responses
Within the global context, Eastern Europe has been repeatedly identified as the area with the highest levels of alcohol‐related health harms. Although the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, and the Soviet Union collapsed soon afterwards, alcohol‐related mortality in Eastern Europe remains far higher than in Western Europe. However, despite the high burden of alcohol harm and mortality in Eastern Europe, with the partial exception of Russia, relatively lit…
Health Convergence Between East and West Germany as Reflected in Long-Term Cause-Specific Mortality Trends: To What Extent was it Due to Reunification
The sizeable mortality gap between the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) and the pre-unified Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) narrowed rapidly after the two states were unified. Despite extensive research, the mechanisms underlying the convergence process are still not fully understood. Significant changes to coding practices and the system of data collection introduced in East Germany shortly after reunification have further co…
Reconstructing Long-Term Coherent Cause-of-Death Series, a Necessary Step for Analyzing Trends
Between ‘Pioneers’ of the Cardiovascular Revolution and Its ‘Late Followers’: Mortality Changes in the Czech Republic and Poland Since 1968
After several decades of stagnation, mortality in most Central European countries started to decrease after 1989. The Czech Republic and Poland were the first former Communist countries in this region to experience a rapid and sustained increase in life expectancy. This study focuses on the trends in cause-of-death mortality that have contributed to the recent progress in these two countries. The analysis is based on the cause-of-death time serie…

The Recent Mortality Decline in Russia: Beginning of the Cardiovascular Revolution
The health situation in Russia has often been characterized as a long-running crisis. From the 1960s until the beginning of the 2000s, the declining life expectancy trend was substantially interrupted only twice: once in the mid-1980s as a result of Gorbachev's anti-alcohol campaign, and again at the end of the 1990s as a result of the "rebound" effect following the dramatic rise in mortality associated with the acute socioeconomic crisis. In bot…
Mortality by marital status in a rapidly changing society: Evidence from the Czech Republic
Married people tend to live longer than their unmarried counterparts, and the advantage in life expectancy enjoyed by married people relative to other groups has been increasing over time. The question of whether the benefits of marriage result from selection or protection continues to be debated. But even as this advantage has been increasing, the share of married people in the population has been declining
Results and observations from the reconstruction of continuous time series of mortality by cause of death: Case of West Germany, 1968-1997
Though many countries have been collecting cause-of-death information from death certificates for more than a century, these valuable data sources remain underexplored. This is certainly due in part to the frequent revisions of the International Classi
