LABORI RUIZ, José Rafael  and  TERAZON MICLIN, Oneida. The social aspect in gender: Meditation for a debate. MEDISAN [online]. 2009, vol.13, n.3, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1029-3019.

The main arguments on the social position in relation to gender are synthetically and critically analyzed, as well as on the inequalities in this respect. It is concluded that the morbidity differences by sex are derived from conditions not only biological, but also social, where the evaluation that the society makes about being a man or a woman in the human development stands out among other factors.

Keywords : GENDER AND HEALTH; SOCIETIES; MORBIDITY; GENDER IDENTITY.
