Abstract

Health - related Quality of Life measures have permitted to discriminate how work and life conditions are affecting health and which quality life expectancy has some diseases and conditions. Life is the unique welfare that is belonging whit as from our birth as human beings, but is time-limited. In this work I consider with Judith Butler help, what do we understand as life and how we can understand health as vitality and no as victimization. The etiological reductionism, related to women health, has been a gender bias that must be re-thinking, as byo-psycho-social health re-gendered. Power relations as domination, have hidden a integral health approaching, but I propose that citizens rights recuperation can be a way to exercise personal power of change.
