Determinants of Regional Differentiation of Mortality in the Czech Republic
Pachlová, Tereza ; Burcin, Boris (advisor) ; Kučera, Tomáš (referee)
Determinants of Regional Differentiation of Mortality in the Czech Republic Abstract There are considerable differences in socioeconomic and sociodemographic factors influencing mortality on the individual and also on the aggregate levels. These differences were observed and explained in many countries of the world. The objective of this thesis is to find and evaluate the most significant external factors which influence actual regional differentiation of mortality in districts of the Czech Republic. The objective was achieved by means of the demographic and statistical analysis methods. First, there was a comparison of mortality rates calculated for each of the socioeconomic clusters. It was found out that higher mortality rates appeared among men and women living in the districts with unfavourable external conditions. Using the Poisson log-linear model, the most important factors influencing differences in mortality rates in districts of the Czech Republic were identified. These factors are: share of the unemployed, share of the divorced, share of university-educated people and the number of physicans in hospitals per 1000 inhabitants. Share of the unemployed seems to be the most significant factor. There is a correlation between this factor and the total mortality rate as well as the leading causes of...

Population forecast of the Republic of Azerbaijan for the period 2009-2050
Verdiyeva, Naila ; Kučera, Tomáš (advisor) ; Burcin, Boris (referee)
The main purpose of the study was to produce a population forecast by sex and one-year age groups for the Republic of Azerbaijan for the period 2009-2050. The forecasting process consisted from the several stages, which are included in the general structure of the production process of a forecast. During the data analysis, a number of methods were applied: redistributional methods of intensities, method of reconstruction abridge life tables into complete life tables, application of the Kannisto method to describe mortality in the old ages. The estimated one-year intensities were utilized in the current trends analysis serving as a background for forecasting the parameters of the cohort-component projection model. During the population forecasting the cohort-component projection model was used and population was forecasted in three scenarios (variants). Underlying assumptions were based on analysis of the recent demographic trends and an assessment of their implications for future changes. Keywords: forecast, population development, Azerbaijan

Development of mortality on diabetes mellitus in developed countries, focusing on the Czech Republic
Koňařík, Martin ; Burcin, Boris (advisor) ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (referee)
Development of mortality on diabetes mellitus in developed countries, focusing on the Czech Republic Abstract This thesis addresses the development of diabetes mellitus mortality in selected developed countries between 1950 and 2008 and compares this development with the situation in Czechoslovakia, the Czech Republic respectively. This development is analyzed by sex, age and type of diabetes. Furthermore it also deals with diabetes morbidity and the share of diabetes mortality from the total mortality. The main approach used in this thesis is analysis of standardized mortality rates and this analysis was done both for whole long-term time series and time series within each International Classification of Diseases for individual countries. Based on the results, it was found that the development of diabetes mellitus mortality was similar across selected countries. It could be divided into several phases. Differentiation between mortality rates of males and females that occurred during reference period was so significant that mortality rates of females which were always higher had dropped below the rates of males. This effect is called in this thesis as a transition from higher female mortality to higher male mortality and it occurred in different countries at different times and also had variable-length...

Regional development of mortality in the Czech Republic by selected causes of deaths in the period 1994-2009
Dupalová, Petra ; Burcin, Boris (advisor) ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (referee)
Regional development of mortality in the Czech Republic by selected causes of deaths in the period 1994-2009 Abstract The bachelor thesis deals with description and analyze of regional differences of mortality in the Czech Republic during 1994-2009. The objective of this study was to find particular trends and show differences in various regions of the Czech Republic. General trend of mortality decrease was influenced by increasing standard of living and improving quality of health care. It had different intensity in each region of the Czech Republic. The quantification of these differences is main part of this thesis. The standard of mortality was studied separately by the sex in each region. As a basic element of the analysis was used the indicator of standardized mortality rates. This work analyzes three main groups of causes of death: cardiovascular mortality, cancer mortality and external causes. Keywords: mortality, cardiovascular mortality, cancer mortality, external causes, regional analysis, standardized mortality rate, Czech Republic

The development of the circulatory diseases mortality in selected European countries
Šírová, Silvie ; Burcin, Boris (advisor) ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to compare the level and the development of mortality due to diseases of the circulatory system in selected European countries in the period 1968-2006 (8th-10th revision ICD). The development of cardiovascular mortality is contextualized into the changes of the overall mortality and viewed in connection with the structural changes of the mortality conditions in concerned countries, that means the mortality by another causes of death, mortality by age and sex. The changes of the mortality level and the proportion of most frequent circulatory diseases are analyzed within the whole group of circulatory diseases. Afterwards the thesis focuses on risk factors, prevention and the treatment methods of cardiovascular diseases. The following part includes cluster analysis based on selected mortality indicators. The analyses conclude that different development of the mortality due to diseases of the circulatory system was the major cause of divergent trends in the overall mortality between the Western European countries and the post-communist countries. The level of cardiovascular mortality in the first group of countries decreased considerably during the observed period. On the contrary the cardiovascular mortality in the post-communist countries was characterized by stagnation or even...

Analysis of mortality from breast cancer in selected European countries
Rathouská, Michaela ; Burcin, Boris (advisor) ; Kučera, Tomáš (referee)
Analysis of mortality from breast cancer in selected European countries Malignant neoplasms are in most European countries the second most common cause of death. The aim of this work is to describe the evolution of mortality of women which is caused by breast cancer. It describes this evolution in the years of 1980-2007 in the Czech Republic, Great Britain and Sweden. Development of mortality is set into the broader connections with a mortality rate of more frequent causes of death and certain other neoplasms in women. Work analyzes mortality by age, the incidence, and it also shows screening programs and international comparisons. Part of this work also deals with risk factors, prevention and treatment options. In all analyzed countries in analyzed period there have been decline of mortality from neoplasm, while the incidence increased. There was a shift of mortality to higher age , particularly in relation to improving health care and its increasing availability. The incidence was observed moving from the oldest to the younger age group, especially in due to introduction of the national mammography screening.
