Summary/Abstract: The level of health of the population is an important indicator of regional development, quality and competitiveness. The aim of the paper is to determine regional disparities in 5 districts of the Vysočina Region and 7 districts of the Ústí Region in 2006 and 2016. Disparities are determined according to the values of 11 demographic and 2 economic determinants of health and 4 indicators of health interventions. The composite indicator method and cluster analysis were used to compare the regions. The determinant values are better in the Vysočina Region districts in 2006 and 2016 as well. The values of economic determinants and health interventions have improved over time. Only the divorce indicator improved in demographic determinants, life expectancy increased and the proportion of deaths (circulatory system diseases and neoplasms) decreased. The adverse change in demographic sub-indicators in comparison with 2006 and 2016 means a decrease in the composite indicator values in most districts. Composite indicator growth only occurred in the districts of Havlíčkův Brod, Jihlava and Ústí nad Labem. The results of the analyses clearly show that there are still considerable disparities between the districts.
