title: [Typing of districts for a study of the health status of the Czechoslovak population].
abstract: The Institute of Social Medicine and Organization of Health Services is conducting at present the so far most extensive survey of the health status of the population in a sample comprising almost 20,000 subjects, i.e. subjects taking advantage of health services, as well as those who do not use the health services either because they are healthy or assume that they are healthy, or possibly for other reasons. For this survey a population sample is used which was previously used by the Federal Statistical Office for a survey of the class and social structure in the CSSR in 1984. This sample which is too large for our work had to be reduced. This reduction was made by selecting from the original sample, which comprised the entire territory of Czechoslovakia, only some districts where the survey was made. In order to make the selected districts representative for the entire territory of the country, we elaborated a typology of districts which contains demographic, economic, social and oecological parameters. For elaboration of the typology cluster analysi was used.
