Abstract<\/h2>\n
\n

Aim:\u00a0<\/strong>To estimate whether large macroeconomic fluctuations in the 2000s affected inequalities in alcohol-related mortality in the Baltic countries and Finland.<\/p>\n

Design:\u00a0<\/strong>Longitudinal register-based follow up study.<\/p>\n

Setting:\u00a0<\/strong>Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Finland.<\/p>\n

Participants:\u00a0<\/strong>General population in the 35-74 age group.<\/p>\n

Measurements:\u00a0<\/strong>Socioeconomic status was measured by the highest achieved educational level and was categorised using the International Standard Classification of Education 2011 as low (included categories 0-2), middle (3-4), and high (5-8). Educational inequalities in alcohol-related mortality in 2000-2003, 2004-2007, 2008-2011 and 2012-2015 were examined using census-linked longitudinal mortality data. We estimated age-standardised mortality rates and the relative and slope index of inequality.<\/p>\n

Findings:\u00a0<\/strong>Alcohol-related mortality increased in all countries in 2004-2007 except among Estonian women and decreased\/remained the same from 2008 onwards except among Latvian men. By 2012-2015 alcohol-related mortality was still higher than in 2000-2003 in Finland, Latvia and Lithuania (women only). Relative inequalities increased across the study period in all countries (significantly in Lithuania and Latvia). The 2004-2007 increase in relative inequalities was mostly driven by a larger mortality increase among the low educated, whereas in 2008-2011 and in 2012-2015 inequalities often increased because of a larger relative mortality decline among the high educated. However, these period changes in relative inequalities and between educational groups were often not statistically significant. Absolute inequalities were larger in 2012-2015 vs. 2000-2003 in all countries except Estonia (decrease).<\/p>\n

Conclusion:\u00a0<\/strong>In Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Finland, alcohol-related mortality tended to increase faster among the low educated during a period of economic expansion (2004-2007) and tended to decrease more among the high educated during a period of economic recession (2008-2011).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
