Among these indicators such as vaccination rate, average life time and mortality rate are health indicators showing the level of development of country. Since the health indicators are directly proportional to the income level of the countries, the income levels of the selected countries should also be taken into account when the country is compared in terms of relevant indicators. From this point of view, this study aims to group the countries in the middle income group according to the income classification made by the World Bank (WB) in terms of selected health indicators. In the scope of the research; Nine variables were used: life expectancy at birth, infant mortality rate, crude birth rate, crude death rate, annual population growth rate, percentage of access to health facilities, measles vaccination rate, diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus vaccination rate and percentage of clean water access. As a result of the hierarchical clustering analysis made, it was seen that there were two clusters representing 95 countries. As a result of the analysis, 81% of the countries in Eastern and Western Asia, which are in the higher income group among the middle income countries, were found to be in the first cluster and 19% in the second cluster. It was also found that Turkey was in the first group. The results of the study are expected to provide useful information on the comparison of middle income countries with heterogeneous health indicators.},author={Gülnur İLGÜN-& Gülsüm Şeyma KOCA},year={2017},journal={Journal of Academic Value Studies (JAVStudies)}}
