Abstract

 
One of the main studies in the health planning of the countries and assessment of the pattern of life quality and enjoyment of the health care services and their success is the Study of mortality causes in the geographical zone. The performed  studies have focused on the causes of mortality throughout the country, with the emphasis on macrothinking and also the obtained  results of the study, by ignoring the constituent geographic elements of the country, provide a single model.Considering the regional differences in the prevalence of different causes of mortality, the present study uses the spatial statistics and spatial data analysis to investigate the differences in the causes of death in the scale of counties of the country. The results showed that the total deaths recorded in terms of International Classification of Death (ICD) in the years 2010-2016, blood circulatory system diseases, accidents and events and various types of cancers were the most important cause of mortality in Iran. The distribution of the three mentioned causes in the country is not the same and in some cities, more than 75% of the causes of death are due to the three factors mentioned, while in some cities, the role of the mentioned factors is less than 20%, and the major part The mortality of these cities was due to aging.The study of the spatial distribution of the major causes of death at the scale of counties revealed that three causes of heart disease, accidents, and cancer types in adulthood, mainly in cities with a lower urbanization rate than the national average, and contrary to the perception that population concentration and high urbanization rates are the  major factor in the occurrence of these diseases.  The concentration of these causes is occurred  in the cities with low population density and urbanization below the national average.
