Health - Mall Leinsalu • 1.To summarize/describe both the long term and more recent health developments in the Baltic countries in comparison with other European countries, including the countries in the former Soviet Union. The differences between the Baltic countries themselves will be highlighted in case. Though the chapter on Health will mostly focus on developments during the past 20 years, the older data will be used to provide the “historical” context. • 2. To summarize/describe the health differences between population groups within the Baltic countries (and in comparison to other European countries when appropriate). • 3. To analyze/discuss the factors beyond these developments/patterns. • The long term health developments will be described by using mortality based indicators, i.e. average life expectancy at birth or age-standardized mortality rates. These data cover the period from 1960 to 2008(or the latest available) and data will be drawn from the Human Mortality Database and/or national statistics for the latest year(s). These data will provide the wide coverage of all European countries, including those in the former Soviet Union. The data will enable to conduct the age-specific analyses.
