From 2000\u201307 to 2008\u201315, overall ASMRs declined in all countries except among Finnish women. Although a strong educational gradient was observed in hypothermia mortality in all countries in 2000\u201307, inequalities were larger in the Baltic countries. Between 2000\u201307 and 2008\u201315, ASMRs declined in all educational groups except for high-educated women in Finland and low-educated women in Lithuania; the changes however were not always statistically significant. The absolute mortality decline was often larger among the low educated resulting in narrowing absolute inequalities (excepting Lithuania), whereas a larger relative decline among the high educated (excepting Finnish women) resulted in a considerable widening of relative inequalities in hypothermia mortality by 2008\u201315.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n
