Introduction: The regional socio-economic, cultural and environmental conditions in the state of Tocantins form a socio-political context responsible for the stratification of groups according to levels of income, education, profession, sex, gender, place of residence and other factors. These mechanisms of socioeconomic stratification are described as structural determinants of health or as sociais determinants of health inequalities, and yet they play an important role in the development of diseases and the need for hospital care. Objective: To analyze the correlation between hospital admission rates and IFDM, Employment & Income, Health, GDP per capita, Gini index, population without water, population without waste collection and demographic density in the health regions of Tocantins. Methodology: The work consists of a quantitative statistical research, retrospective, of documentary character, through data from public sites, which aims to analyze through the extraction of information, focusing on regional socioeconomic aspects through a correlation with hospital admission data from the health regions of the state of Tocantins. Results: Based on the results, moderate correlations were identified between the variables of hospital admissions and GDP per capita (r=0.5199), hospital admissions and Employment & Income (r=0.3939) and hospital admissions and IFDM (r=0.3365). Conclusion: Based on the application of the Pe-Arson correlation, it can be concluded that GDP per capita is the most closely related to hospitalization rates.
