Abstract: This paper conducts cluster analysis on health differences across provinces and health imbalance within provinces in China at four dimensions of life expectancy,maternal and child health,health service resources and public health.Results show that areas with longer life expectancy have better maternal and child health and more adequate health services,while their problems are insufficiency of utilization of health services and relative high infectious disease morbidity and mortality.Regions with lower life expectancy tend to face more pluralistic problems.This may provide policy implications for health promotion and intervention.The paper also discusses issues of pre-marital examination rate,physical examination rates,utilization of beds,and structure of infectious diseases.
