ABSTRACT

After the time of the Great Duchy of Lithuania and that of their inclusion to Russian Empire, the three Baltic countries got their first independence after WWI, but WWII forced them to enter the Soviet Union for almost five decades before getting their second independence and resuming with market economy, to finally join the European Union. Such strong historical changes caused major impacts (either positive or negative) on the implementation of the health transition in the region, quite interesting to document, but they also produced dramatic changes in the quality and the accuracy of information required to compute mortality indicators. The aim of this article is to briefly summarize existing knowledge on mortality in the Baltic region for the past two centuries, but focusing more precisely on the consequences of getting in and then getting out of the Soviet system in terms of health and survival.

摘要

在立陶宛大公国时期和将其纳入俄罗斯帝国时期之后，波罗的海这三个国家在第一次世界大战之后获得了第一次独立，但是第二次世界大战迫使他们进入苏联近五十年，然后才获得第二次独立并恢复了独立。市场经济，终于加入了欧盟。如此强烈的历史变化对该地区卫生过渡的实施产生了重大影响（正面或负面），有据可查，但很有趣，但它们也大大改变了计算死亡率指标所需信息的质量和准确性。本文的目的是简要总结过去两个世纪波罗的海地区有关死亡率的现有知识，
