Although mortality from conditions amenable to medical intervention has frequently been shown to be higher in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CCEE) than in the countries of Western Europe (CWE), the contribution of these mortality differences to the East-West gap in life expectancy is unknown. We have determined the contribution of mortality from nine amenable causes to differences in temporary life expectancy from birth to age 75 (TLE0-75) between 12 CCEE and the average TLE0-75 for CWE in ca. 1988.
