中文摘要：

目的构建与我国全面建设小康社会相适应、操作简便的健康素质评价的理论与方法，建立科学、直观的“健康素质指数（HQI）”模型，用于衡量小康社会建设中健康素质提高的程度，预测小康社会的发展进程。方法广泛收集有关反映健康素质的相关指标，用DELPHI法进行筛选，得到四个核心指标，通过数学与统计学方法计算“健康素质指数”，并在东、中、西部分别选取五个省进行HQI的实证分析。结果在东部五省中，HQI基本在80以上；中部五省中，HQI基本在60左右；西部五省的HQI基本平稳在50左右。经F检验，我国东、中、西部不同区域间2005年健康素质指数差异有统计学意义（F=28．39，P〈0．05）。结论HQI研究为统计部门以及政府宏观决策提供了一个科学、综合、敏感、直观的评价指数，能较好地反映一个国家或地区的健康素质水平。
