Abstract:

The article aims to analyze the specific literature about the male body and its relationship to the health field. It is hoped that from this analysis, can be established hypotheses or assumptions as a starting point for future interventions and research on the subject. Methodologically, the study is a literature review of qualitative, focusing on articles available on the Virtual Health Library (VHL). In terms of results, it was established three themes that summarize the analysis of the sources: gendered bodies, male bodies in the midst of transgression and marginalization, and the reductions of the male body and take care of themselves. It is concluded that the look of health on men‘s bodies can promote better care for themselves when you can build and rebuild the male, surpassing exclusive models, monolithic and reducers that rule man and a woman.
