Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine if adapting to gender norms is related to some health variables in a sample of Romanian people living in Spain. The results showed that the degree of conformity with gender norms were associated with some of the health indices studied. These conclusions have important implications for action on health, since they show how important masculine/feminine gender identity is with regard to health behaviours.
