Changes in inequalities of mortality and life expectancy by marital status: a case of Lithuania
Inequalities in age-standardized mortality rates (except for gastrointestinal diseases for men and for external causes for women) from major causes of death and in LE by marital status were increasing in Lithuania during 2001-2014. This knowledge provides a better understanding of the impact of sociodemographic factors on mortality and inequality trends in Lithuania, and can also contribute to the development of more effective health policies and strategies.
