"Tendances de l’espérance de santé: les implications pour l’avenir"

Organisateur: Prof Dorly Deeg, the Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam

La 18ème réunion REVES a porté sur l’évolution de la santé de la population au cours du temps. On observe une augmentation de l’espérance de vie dans la plupart des pays développés et en développement. Toutefois, les augmentations de l’espérance de vie ne sont pas toujours de pair avec des augmentations de l’espérance de santé. Les tendances de la santé et de l’espérance de santé sont différentes d’un pays à l’autre, et au sein d’un même pays, entre les groupes socio-économiques et entre les sexes. Pour aider le développement des politiques de santé, nous avons besoin d’acquérir une meilleure compréhension des mécanismes de ces tendances. L’objectif de cette rencontre est de partager l’expérience des pays en développement et des pays développés, de mettre en commun les résultats des recherches en cours, les méthodes de mesure et d’analyse afin de mieux comprendre les projections des espérances de santé.
