The concept of epidemiological transition: Follow-up approaches
Klicperová, Barbora ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (advisor) ; Kašpar, Dan (referee)
The concept of epidemiological transition: Follow-up approaches Abstract The main objective of the Bachelor Thesis is to create an overview of the most important approaches to defining and expanding theory of epidemiological transition. This work is based on the epidemiological transition theory introduced by Abdel R. Omran in 1971 who defined, within this theory, three basic phases, age of pestilence and famine, age of receding pandemics and age of degenerative and man-made diseases, during which infectious and parasitic diseases are gradually displaced by degenerative and man-made diseases. Omran's assumptions of the future development of mortality by causes of death, however, proved to be mistaken. In response to further significant changes in the structure of mortality and morbidity the concept of epidemiological transition was developed. Therefore, the new approaches of the concept of the epidemiological transition were formulated. These approaches regulated or supplemented the original concept of entirely new phases. This work, based on the scientific articles of authors who have dealt with the issue of the epidemiological transition, represents a possible follow-up approaches to epidemiological transition theory which are for better illustration and clarity of succession represented using tables....

Regional Differences in Healthy Life Expectancy in Czechia
Klicperová, Barbora ; Lustigová, Michala (advisor) ; Otáhalová, Hana (referee)
Regional Differences in Healthy Life Expectancy in Czechia Abstract Over the past decade, the health status of the population has also been measured by Healthy Life Expectancy indicator. This indicator covers not only the quantitative aspect, but it takes into the account also the qualitative aspect of prolonging human life. The main objective of this thesis is to evaluate the differences in healthy life expectancy among the regions of Czechia, both in terms of space and time (2009-2014). The introductory part of the thesis outlines the connections of the origin of the healthy life expectancy indicator and analyses the methods of its construction. The theoretical part of the thesis also includes description of sample surveys. To calculate healthy life years, the Sullivan method is used. Data on health status were obtained from the SILC survey. According to the results of the analysis, there is considerable variability between regions in terms of healthy life expectancy. The difference is significantly higher in terms of healthy life expectancy than in the case of life expectancy. A more detailed analysis of the distribution of the healthy life expectancy values has revealed that there is a certain "paradox" of healthy life expectancy in relation to life expectancy, since there are regions where the high...
