Abstract

Among the dimensions of well-being, health is the one perceived as most important by individuals and communities. It is also easier to measure. The distribution of health in the population may therefore be the most useful metric for identifying problems and looking for solutions. Particularly eloquent is the search for health inequalities, because they show that someone has done better than someone else and that change is possible by improving living conditions and access to care for all. Therefore, the metric of unequal health can be the key to activating a change, to be proposed to the local community and to the professionals who build the new Community Houses
