Changes in self-reported alcohol consumption at high and low consumption in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic
Although COVID-19 was associated with declines in alcohol consumption, in Lithuania it appears that there was an increase in consumption among the heaviest drinkers, driven partially by a smaller difference in consumption between males and females
Trends of alcohol-attributable deaths in Lithuania 2001–2021
Male mortality and life expectancy in Lithuania were closely linked to alcohol-attributable mortality and markedly associated with strong alcohol control policies. Further implementation of such policies is predicted to lead to further improvements in life expectancy
Are restrictions in sales hours of alcohol associated with fewer emergency room visits in Lithuania? An interrupted time‐series analysis
Liver holidays? A meta‐analysis of drinking the same amount of alcohol daily or non‐daily and the risk for cirrhosis
Assessing the impact of providing digital product information on the health risks of alcoholic beverages to the consumer at point of sale
The Comprehensive Alcohol Advertising Ban in Lithuania
Alcohol advertising exposure is a risk factor for earlier alcohol initiation and higher alcohol consumption. Furthermore, engagement in digital alcohol marketing, such as liking or sharing an ad on social media, is associated with increased alcohol consumption and binge or hazardous drinking behavior. In light of these challenges, Lithuania has enacted a total prohibition on alcohol advertising, including social media. This study monitored the tw…
The temporal trend of cause-specific mortality
Estonia and Lithuania showed distinct mortality trends and distributions of major disease categories. Our findings highlight the role of ischemic heart disease mortality. Differences in public health care, management and prevention of ischemic heart disease, alcohol control policies may explain these differences
Classifying Alcohol Control Policies with Respect to Expected Changes in Consumption and Alcohol-Attributable Harm
Due to the high levels of alcohol use, alcohol-attributable mortality and burden of disease, and detrimental drinking patterns, Lithuania implemented a series of alcohol control policies within a relatively short period of time, between 2008 and 2019. Based on their expected impact on alcohol consumption and alcohol-attributable harm, as well as their target population, these policies have been classified using a set of objective criteria and exp…
Cardiovascular diseases mortality and alcohol control policy in Lithuania
Yearly mortality rates for all CVDs, IHD, cerebrovascular diseases and ACM have declined in Lithuania between 2001 and 2018, and declining trends were more prominent in women than in men. Among the ICD-10 CVD categories investigated, the points of inflection identified for the ACM mortality rate trend coincided best with the selected alcohol policy enactment dates
