The study addressed Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) as an essential component in the evaluation of the physical, mental and social well-being of the population. It focused on the community of Villa Piletones, with the aim of diagnosing its health situation and guiding public policies. Through the use of the EQ-5D instrument, inequalities were identified and useful data was generated to compare regional contexts. It was highlighted how socioeconomic, environmental and lifestyle factors influenced the perception of health. The research allowed to consolidate HRQOL as a valid tool for designing strategies to improve community health.
