Brønnum-Hansen, H. & al, et (2009). The 21st Reves Conference-Reducing Gaps in Health Expectancy: Copenhagen 26-29 May 2009. Programme, Abstracts & List of Participants. Copenhagen: Syddansk Universitet. Statens Institut for Folkesundhed.Abstract
The overall theme of the conference "Reducing gaps in health expectancy" reflects that one main objective of REVES is to study and quantify differences in health expectancy between men and women as well as inequalities between socioeconomic groups and subpopulations of different ethnicity. The conference deals with these subjects together with studies focusing on international comparisons, trends, health among the oldest old and other topics. A special session on basic concepts and methods is planned to brush up on what it’s all about. The aim is to present a general view and provide the opportunity for a discussion on measuring disability, classification systems, estimation methods, statistical considerations and available software. This year a special optional training session will be offered on the day before the conference (26 May) with presentations and exercises using specific software tools. I welcome all the participants representing more than 20countries from all over the world and hope you will benefit from the conference and enjoy your stay in Copenhagen.
