Abstract
The process of globalization affects more and more the life quality of people around the world. In particular, it impinges in different ways upon their health that is the most revealing single proxy of life quality. The health of people affects in its turn the demographic and economic growth of nations as well as their sustainability. Notwithstanding the fundamental importance of this complex network of interactions, however, the nexus between globalization, sustainable development and health has been so far insufficiently analyzed.48
