China's General Administration of Sport's "Key Points for Mass Sports Work in 2023" calls for local governments to increase public sports facilities and improve accessibility and standards. The expansion of sports spaces is inevitable. As society develops, residents' healthcare concerns evolve. Examining the correlation between sports space expansion and healthcare will inform government policy, fostering a win-win for mass sports and public healthcare. Against the backdrop of big data, this study first establishes four evaluation indicators to describe urban sports space expansion and two indicators to measure public healthcare concerns. Data for these ten indicators spanning 2014-2023 were collected, followed by outlier removal and missing value imputation. Second, this study employs multiple linear regression to examine the relationship between urban sports space expansion and residents' healthcare concerns. Results indicate a strong and largely positive correlation: as urban sports space expands, residents' healthcare concerns intensify.
