Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to synthesize the meaning of two important concepts in the literature on sociology of health: health and autonomy. The review presented here has been performed as part of a research on patient's decision-making and it is meant to reveal differences in definitions which are likely to change the underpinning perspectives of patient decisions.
