Key Findings on Ageing in the Baltic States
This study by Madara Mielsone, Ieva Reine, and Andrejs Ivanovs from Riga Stradi University reveals significant insights into ageing trends in the Baltic States. The research focuses on health changes, predictors of self-rated health, and the impact of mental health factors on overall well-being. Findings suggest a correlation between age and health status, highlighting the need for further analysis to differentiate between age-related decline and pandemic effects.

The most important findings on ageing in the Baltic States Madara Mi elsone, Ieva Reine, Andrejs Ivanovs Statistics Unit, Faculty of Medicine Riga Stradi University
The main predictors for fair or poor self-rated health: unadjusted OR (95%CI) Predictors Latvia Lithuania Estonia Limitations in daily tasks 10.58 (7.28-15.38) 8.12 (6.20-10.64) 11,39 (9.55-13.60) Feelings of loneliness 9.46 (4.02-22.21) 7.38 (3.98-13.70) 6.19 (3.79-10.13) Sad/depressed 3.67 (2.50-5.38) 4.46 (3.38-5.91) 3.60 (3.00-4.32) Felt nervous 2.05 (1.49-2.82) 3.23 (2.50-4.19) 2.61 (2.19-3.10) Age 1.09 (1.07-1.11) 1.07 (1.05-1.08) 1.08 (1.077-1.09) As the proportion of respondents with poor or fair health status has increased, it could be associated with ageing process rather than Covid-19 pandemic. The results indicate that health deterioration due to mental health factors could be intensified by the Covid-19 pandemic, but more detailed analysis is needed.
