Being independent of the size of populations and of their age structure, health expectancies thus allow direct comparison of the different groups that constitute populations: sexes, socio-professional categories, regions. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  This book brings together for the first time, the major works of REVES* over the past ten years. As well as providing comparisons of the health of many of the world's countries, the book includes sections on the concepts behind health expectancies and the demographic transition, the relevance of health expectancies to health policy and the different methods of calculating health expectancies. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  *REVES is an international organisation of researchers, clinicians and health planners addressing these issues as well as developing and recommending methods of calculation and furthering the use of health expectancy as a tool for health planning. \u003cbr\u003e * State-of-the-art coverage of this important health indicator \u003cbr\u003e * Heavily cross referenced to give the book structure and coherence \u003cbr\u003e * Editors are pioneers in the field of health expectancy\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Wiley\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2003-01-06\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780470843970\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234.50cm x157.50cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 432\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44384082493580,"sku":"9780470843970","price":292.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780470843970.jpg?v=1773260351","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780470843970","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
