Owerwight and Obesity as a Risk Factor for Cancer and Diabetes
Rožeková, Katarína ; Lustigová, Michala (advisor) ; Kulhánová, Ivana (referee)
The present thesis contains a set of three related articles dealing with the influence of one of the most important risk factors namely overweight (BMI≥25kg/m2 ) and obesity (BMI≥30kg/m2 ) on mortality intensity of selected types of malignant neoplasms and prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes. (I) The first published article analyzed the attributable risk of population death for selected malignant neoplasms in 2016, which could be attributed to excessive BMI in the Czech population from 2008 according to sex. (II) In the second submission, the analysis was expanded, estimating and comparing mortality in the Czech and Slovak populations and between different age categories. The present studies were analyzed using the population attribute fraction (PAF). (III) The aim of the last analysis was to determine the prevalence of diabetes (DM) and pre-diabetes in the Czech population and to assess their risk factors. In their studies, the authors point to the continuing and growing problem of obesity and its consequences across Europe. They thus contribute to a deeper understanding of the long-term risk factor involved and the design of measures for the planning and subsequent implementation of prevention. The present analyzes were also published in "Demography" (I), "Epidemiology, Microbiology,...

Youth and healthy leisure activities: protective versus risk activities
Rožeková, Katarína ; Spilková, Jana (advisor) ; Kážmér, Ladislav (referee)
ROŽEKOVÁ, Katarína: Youth and healthy leisure activities: protective versus risk activities. [Diploma thesis]. Charles University. Faculty of Science; Department of Social Geography and Regional Development. Tutor: Doc. RNDr. Bc. Jana Spilková, Ph.D. Qualification degree: Master of Social Epidemiology. Prague: PřF UK, 2017. 76 p. Introduction: Leisure time is a framework for a wide range of activities. Preferred activities during leisure are activities that individuals can freely choose and perform. Providing opportunities for health-promoting activities leads to a healthy lifestyle that can prevent risk behaviors or health problems. Objectives: Identify the choice of respondents' leisure time activities based on their place of residence. Explain how teenagers perceive risks associated with risky behaviors. What are the demographic, geographic and social predictors of risk behaviors, and the selection and implementation of selected leisure activities. To analyze the relationship between the risk behaviors of youth and the risk activities involved, ie to determine which activities are conducive to risk behaviors and which are protective in nature. Methods: Our monitored set consists of 3. and 4. grade students at selected secondary schools. The main research tool we used was a questionnaire....
