Other definitions have been proposed, among which a recent definition that correlates health and personal satisfaction.

The term empowerment refers to measures designed to increase the degree of autonomy and self-determination in people and in communities in order to enable them to represent their interests in a responsible and self-determined way, acting on their own authority.
