Meeting: REVES 2006 Differential trends in health expectancy: implications for the future, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. May 29-31, 2006 The REVES (Réseau Espérance de Vie en Santé) International Network on Health Expectancy was set up in 1989 by the French Naitonal Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM, Montpellier, France), the Social Affairs Council, Quebec, Canada and the Center for Demographic Studies, Durham, United States. The ageing of the world population and the lengthening of life have been, and are, monitored by well-established demographic indicators such as the ageing ratio and life expectancy at birth. Similar indicators can measure healthy active ageing and changes in healthy active life to evaluate whether further increases in the quantity of life are accompanied by equivalent increases in quality of life. In other words, the interest is in determining whether or not additional years of life are years spent physically and mentally independent as well as socially integrated. Over the last twenty years, data collection and publication of ageing ratios and life expectancies by the UN have allowed governments, policy planners and other stakeholders to become aware of the ageing of the world population. In the next two decades, these should be supplemented by similar data collection and publication on healthy active life, as a fundamental resource for monitoring quality of life. It is envisaged that the topics covered at REVES 2006 will be similar to those covered at previous REVES meetings. Topics are likely to include: The study of health concepts; Methodological developments in population health; Disability, morbidity and mortality and their determinants; Health comparison among regions and social groups; The use of health expectancy as a policy instruments.
