The increase in life expectancy observed over the last decade has particular relevance for mental health conditions of old age, such as dementia. Although mental disorders have been estimated to be responsible for 60% of all disabilities, until recently population health indicators such as health expectancies have concentrated on calculating disability-free life expectancy based on physical functioning. In 1994, a European Network for the Calculation of Health Expectancies (Euro-REVES) was established, one of its aims being the development and promotion of mental health expectancies. Such indicators may have an important role in monitoring future changes in the mental health of populations and predicting service needs. This article summarizes the proceedings and recommendations of the first European Conference on Mental Health Expectancy.
过去十年间观察到的预期寿命增长与老年心理健康状况（如痴呆症）有着特别的关联。尽管据估计精神障碍导致了所有残疾的60%，但直到最近，诸如健康预期等人口健康指标一直专注于根据身体功能来计算无残疾预期寿命。1994年，一个欧洲健康预期计算网络（Euro-REVES）成立，其目标之一是开发和推广心理健康预期。此类指标可能在监测人群心理健康的未来变化以及预测服务需求方面发挥重要作用。本文总结了第一届欧洲心理健康预期会议的议程和建议。
