ABSTRACT
There are many indexes for ranking the health status, therefore it is not a simple work to combine them and determine health degrees of each province, because not all of the indexes are based on equal unity and also too many of indexes and special criteria for selection will affect research results dramatically. This research attempts to combine factor analysis and taxonomy analysis to omit linear correlation between variables, by using 35 indexes of access and efficiency of hygienic and treatment services, fertility population, mortality, food security and nutrition to rank the provinces based on health status. The finding of this research point out that Tehran, Isfahan and central provinces are in a good health status, while this condition is consideral at a little weak point for Ardebil, Golestan and Qom proviences and at critical point for Khoozestan, Sistan and Baluchestan and Kohkiluyeh and Boyer Ahmed proviences
