Social health is a concept that is created from relationship between two concepts of health and society. Since the society is a nominal concept and its external truth depends on everyone who has formed it, in evaluation of society, people of that should be evaluated and studied more than everything. In this regard the present research under the topic of “Evaluation of relationship between social support and social health of Tehran citizens” has been conducted among Tehran citizens in 2016. Social health was evaluated based on Keyes’s theories in five dimensions of social prosperity, social adaptation, social cohesion, social acceptance and social participation and also social support was evaluated based on researches of Wax et al. in three dimensions of friends support, family support and others support. Research methodology in this research is survey and technique of data collection is questionnaire. The questionnaires were distributed among 400 people of women who were selected as multi-stage cluster sampling, and because 15 of questionnaires were altered, approximately 385 were finally analyzed. The result was that social support is one of effective factors on social health; the obtained adjusted multiple coefficient of determination showed that the triple dimensions of social support (friends support, family support and others support) have been able to express approximately 58% of the social health variable
