LINKING HEALTH EXPECTANCY TO POLICY AND SCIENCE

描述（改编自申请表）：这是一份资金申请表，用于支持国际健康预期寿命网络 (KEVES) 的科学会议。 该会议将于 2000 年 3 月在南加州大学举行，即在洛杉矶举行的美国人口协会 (PAA) 年会前三天。 这将是国际科学家小组的第十二次会议，也是在美国举行的第三次会议，该小组致力于开发用于制定健康概要衡量标准的方法和数据。 目标是更好地了解当前和未来死亡率和发病率趋势对生命周期和人口构成的影响。 会议主题是将健康预期与政策和科学联系起来。 这次会议对美国来说尤其重要，因为这将是美国政府机构代表出席的第一次会议，他们正在为 2010 年健康预期汇总衡量指标制定目标。这将是第一次包含 DALYS 开发者的重要意见的会议，DALYS 是衡量与疾病相关的健康不良负担的替代方法； 这将是第一次纳入生物人口学会议的会议，生物人口学对于考虑老年人口死亡率和发病率的未来趋势至关重要。 这是该小组目前最后一次预定的会议，将用于阐明当前方法和数据满足研究和政策需求的潜力。 该应用程序的首席研究员 (PI) 是来自南加州大学安德鲁斯老年学中心的 Eileen Crimmins 博士，她是 EVES 中央组织委员会的成员。 本次会议组委会除Crimmins博士外，还有来自芝加哥大学（UC）的Olshansky博士； 杜克大学（DU）的 George Meyers 博士； 宾夕法尼亚州立大学（PSU）的 Mark Hayward 博士； 澳大利亚堪培拉澳大利亚健康与福利研究所的 Colin Mathers 博士； 法国INSERM的Jean Marie Robine博士； 和来自英国的卡罗尔·贾格尔博士。

DESCRIPTION (adapted from the application): This is an application for funds to support a scientific meeting of the International Network on Healthy Life Expectancy (KEVES). The meeting will take place in March 2000 at the USC, three days before the annual meetings of the Population Association of America (PAA) in Los Angeles. This will be the twelfth meeting, the third in the United States, of a group of international scientists devoted to the development of methods and data for producing summary measures of health. The goal is to better understand the life cycle and population composition implications of current and prospective trends in mortality and morbidity. The meeting theme is Linking Health Expectancy to Policy and Science. This meeting will be especially important for the United States because it will be the first meeting attended by representatives of U.S. Government agencies who are setting goals for Summary Measures of Health Expectancy 2010. It will be the first meeting to include significant input from the developers of DALYS, an alternative approach to measuring the burden of ill health associated with disease; and it will be the first meeting to incorporate sessions on biodemography, which are crucial to considering the future of mortality and morbidity trends among the older population. It is currently the last scheduled meeting of this group and will be used to clarify the potential of current methods and data for meeting research and policy needs. The principal investigator (PI) for this application is Dr. Eileen Crimmins from the Andrus Gerontology Center at the USC, a member of the central organizing committee of EVES. The organizing committee for this meeting includes, in addition to Dr. Crimmins, Dr. Olshansky from the University of Chicago (UC); Dr. George Meyers from Duke University (DU); Dr. Mark Hayward from the Pennsylvania State University (PSU); Dr. Colin Mathers from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare in Canberra, Australia; Dr. Jean Marie Robine from INSERM in France; and Dr. Carol Jagger from England.
