A gender perspective was used to analyze how socio-economic status and per capita public health expenditure are associated to perceived health among the Spanish population between the years 2014 and 2017. Using multilevel methodologies (looking at year, individual, and region) and linear specification, the longitudinal microdata files from the Survey on Living Conditions were analyzed. The results point at low educational levels being a factor for worse perceived health among women, while for the same group income appears to have a protective influence. On the other hand, women are not negatively affected by unemployment, unlike men. Regional per capita public health expenditure is not associated with perceived health in either men nor women.
