中文摘要：

健康策略的提出需要基于实证研究,应包含健康决定因素信息,以及这些因素如何联系在一起,达到影响人们健康的目的。世界卫生组织欧洲健康城市网络提出了一套健康城市指标（HCIs）,内含指标53个,用以描述市民健康,并记录当地所采取的涉及健康的更广泛维度的一系列措施。这是第一次尝试系统收集和分析欧洲城市数据。该分析为数据的解释性、有效性和可行性提供了重要见解。在此基础上,健康城市项目对原有指标加以改进,减少至32个,同时完善原有定义。对改进过的指标进行分析后表明,数据的收集变得更完整和可行。健康城市指标为城市描述健康从而明确健康问题提供了有用信息;同时它突出了收集定性定量数据和指标数量的重要性,以及使用指标比较不同城市的适宜性问题,促进了常规有效健康数据的系统化收集。健康城市指标的引进鼓励城市采取结构化流程收集市民健康信息,并在这些信息基础上,通过收集适当的本地数据,来建立该城市的健康资料以支撑其健康规划。该规划将会提出增进健康的策略和干预手段,并为其他健康规划提供实证基础。

英文摘要：

The evidence-base for a health strategy should include information on the determinants of health and how they link together if it is to influence the health of the population. The WHO European Healthy Cities Network developed a set of 53 healthy city indicators（HCIs）, to describe the health of its citizens and capture a range of local initiatives addressing the wider dimensions of health. This was the first systematic effort to collect and analyze a range of data from European cities. The analysis provided important insights into the interpretation, availability, and feasibility of collecting data, resulting in the development of a revised set of 32 indicators with improved definitions. An analysis of the revised indicators showed that this data was more complete and feasible to collect. It provided useful information to cities contributing to developing a description of health and thus helping to identify health problems. It also highlighted issues about the importance of collecting qualitative as well as quantitative data, the number of indicators and the appropriateness of using the indicators to compare different cities. HCIs facilitated the collection of routinely available health data in a systematic manner. The introduction of HCIs has encouraged cities to adopt a structured process of collecting information on the health of their citizens and build on this information by collecting appropriate local data for developing a city health profile to underpin a city health plan that would set out strategies and interventions to improve health and provide the evidence-base for health plans.
