Abstract

The level of well-being of a society, via the individuals that comprise it, obviously depends on their state of health. Thus, some well-being indicators/indices include health indicators/indices in their calculation. In fact, these well-being and health indexes must be complemented with others, of obvious relevance to the matter. This being the (main) objective of this work, the data corresponding to Portugal are analyzed: i) in the area of well-being, the indicators of happiness, satisfaction with life and, ii) in the area of health, the indicators of global burden of diseases, healthy life expectancy and self-perceived health status. This allows us to (better) understand the relationship between health and well-being in Portugal over the last few years.
