The 2009 Autumn Meeting was held at the University of Rostock/ Germany from October 1 - 2, in co-operation with the German Association of Epidemiology DGEpi). The overarching focus of the meeting was on EPIDEMIOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES OF DEMOGRAPHIC AGING. Keynote speakers included Prof. Peter Boyle (former director of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)) as well as Prof. Wolfgang Hoffmann (head of the section Epidemiology of Health Care and Community Health at the University of Greifswald and president of the German Association of Epidemiology). Various research questions in the field of demography, public health as well as epidemiology have been presented and discussed such as the growing importance of particular diseases in view of the ageing population, such as cancer and dementia, and its consequences for health care and morbidity.
