Abstract
There is evidence of a strong correlation between inequality in health care access and disparities in chronic health conditions. Equal access to health care is an important indicator for overall population health, and the urban road network has a significant influence on the spatial distribution of urban service facilities. In this study, the network kernel density estimation was applied to detect the hot spots of health care service along the road network of Shenzhen, and we further explored the influences of population and road density on the aggregate intensity distributions at the community level, using spatial stratified heterogeneity analyses. Then, we measured the spatial clustering patterns of health care facilities in each of the ten districts of Shenzhen using the network K-function, and the interrelationships between health care facilities and hypertension patients. The results can be used to examine the reasonability of the existing health care system, which would be valuable for developing more effective prevention, control, and treatment of chronic health conditions. Further research should consider the influence of nonspatial factors on health care service access.
