In Lille (a large city in northern France), the municipal council has set up an Health Observatory in order to provide health information on the city's population, promote educational health policies, foster the development of preventive actions and improve access to the healthcare system. The Observatory works with agencies involved in health in France, such as the CPAM ("Caisse Primaire d'Assurance Maladie", the state health insurer). The purpose of the present study was to describe care consumption by the inhabitants of Lille's 12 districts on the basis of data supplied by the local branch of the CPAM. By using principal component analysis and a hierarchical classification tool, we established a typology of districts according to care consumption. The results of this study can be used to improve decision-making, elaborate better health policies and promote social actions.
在法国北部的大城市里尔，市议会设立了一个健康观测站，以便提供有关该市居民的健康信息、推动教育性健康政策、促进预防行动的开展并改善医疗体系的可及性。该观测站与法国参与健康事务的机构合作，如CPAM（“国家疾病保险基金管理局”，即国家健康保险公司）。本研究的目的是根据CPAM当地分支机构提供的数据，描述里尔12个区居民的医疗消费情况。通过使用主成分分析和层次分类工具，我们根据医疗消费情况建立了区的类型学。这项研究的结果可用于改善决策、制定更好的健康政策并促进社会行动。
