Abstract：Objective:To examine the coordination between health status and health investment among Chinese residents,including its degree,patterns,and spatial distribution,so as to propose strategies for coordinated development.Methods:Based on the provincial panel data of residents'health and health investment in China from 2013 to 2022,the analysis was conducted using the combination weighting method,coupling coordination model,cluster analysis,and spatial autocorrelation.Results:From 2013 to 2022,the coupling coordination degree of the two systems increased from 0.58 to 0.70,achieving a positive transition from barely coordinated to moderately coordinated;the four types of coordination patterns were low-low type,low health-high investment,high health-low investment,and high-high type;the coupling coordination degree of the two systems shows a random distribution globally(P＞0.05),while locally it is mainly clustered in the"high-high"pattern,with Guangdong and Hainan being clustered in"high-low"and"low-high"areas.Conclusion:The coupling coordination between the two systems shows an upward trend,the coordination pattern exhibits a gradient distribution,and the spatial heterogeneity pattern displays a high-to-low trend from east to west,with global randomness and local order.
