This paper presents the synthetic measure of health evaluation, which was used for model studies on populations of cities with poviat status in Silesia Voivodship. The study describes theoretical foundations for applying multidimensional comparative analysis in evaluation of the people health status. The range of entrance variables has been defined and selected. They have represented the following: demographic and economic variables, health needs variables, social variables and health service supplies variables.
