The paper has the aim to explore the relationship between health, as human
capital component, not very much investigated so far, and the macroeconomic results. It is
analyzed the relationship between the evolution of GDP and statistical indicators reflecting
the investment in health, the health status of the population and the resource indicators in
the EU Member States. The main conclusions of the study reveal a positive correlation
between these indicators, except the health expenditure as percentage of GDP and number
of hospitals beds at 100.000 inhabitants.
