ing Addabbo et alt.(2010a) will be in a local direction,
the analysis will be replicated to a more homogeneous
area (the province of Modena). At national level we
aim to match the survey data on the population with
regional administrative data on the health infrastruc-
tures to allow for a deeper analysis of the impact of
health services on individual health outcomes.The re-
sults of our research on the construction of a new in-
dex of the capability of living a healthy life can then
be transferred - by a researcher from our research unit
- to the Italian Commission on the Definition of the
Quality of Life created in April 2011 by the Italian
National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) and the Na-
tional Centre of Economics and Labour (Cnel) both
because health is a relevant dimension in the construc-
tion of the quality of life, and because of the innova-
tive methodology used for its measurement.
