Ashimov, Askat ; Burcin, Boris (advisor) ; Kučera, Tomáš (referee)
Trends and patterns of cancer mortality in Kazakhstan in comparison with some selected European countries from 1986 to 2008 Abstract This thesis primarily addresses mortality patterns and trends by main causes of death and by major neoplasms in Kazakhstan in comparison with the selected European countries: the Czech Republic, France and Sweden during 1986-2008. Within the whole group of main causes of death, the changes of mortality levels in different groups of neoplasms are analyzed. The analysis is accompanied with the comparison of mortality levels from major neoplasms within the selected countries. Afterwards the thesis focuses on cancer causes and risk factors in the countries under observation. The analysis concludes that the current mortality situation in Kazakhstan follows up long term adverse mortality trends of the past two decades and neoplasms remain an important public health problem in Kazakhstan. Key Words: mortality, cancer, malignant neoplasms, cause of death, standardized mortality rates, comparison, Kazakhstan, Czech Republic, France, Sweden

Development of regional differentiation of cardiovascular system mortality in the Czech Republic 1993-2008
Němeček, Ondřej ; Burcin, Boris (advisor) ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (referee)
The goal of the study is to describe and analyze regional differences in cardiovascular system mortality in the Czech Republic. The work is focused on the period 1993-2008. Regional differentiation is examined on regional basis separately for men and women. The work is aimed at total cardiovascular system mortality. Then it deals with the most common mortality reasons. The main indicator of mortality is standardized mortality rate. In the described period there was a significant fall of the standardized mortality rate on cardiovascular system diseases. Regional differences didn't change much during the examined period. At the end of the study there is a division of regions based on the similar mortality characteristics.

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...

Development of the intensity of alcohol-related mortality in regions of the Czech Republic in 1994-2009
Komrsková, Lucie ; Burcin, Boris (advisor) ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (referee)
The Development of the intensity of alcohol-related mortality in regions of the Czech Republic in 1994-2009 Abstract The main aim of the thesis is to analyze the development of the intensity of alcohol-related mortality in regions of the Czech Republic in 1994-2009. Three categories of causes of death related to alcohol are selected according to the classification chosen. The author analyses the intensity of mortality from all causes alcohol-related mortality, from cause of death of alcoholic liver disease and from external causes of death related to alcohol. She concludes that the level of mortality from all causes alcohol-related mortality and external causes of death related to alcohol improves whereas the level of mortality from cause of death of alcohol liver disease worsens. From the results of the analysis it follows that the areas with the highest intensity of mortality related to alcohol are eastern Moravia and north-western Bohemia. Key words: mortality, diseases alcohol-related, causes of death, standardized mortality rates, the Czech Republic, regions

Comparative analysis of cardiovascular mortality in Czechia and Sweden during 1970-2007
Nerušilová, Hana ; Burcin, Boris (advisor) ; Kučera, Tomáš (referee)
Comparative analysis of cardiovascular mortality in Czechia and Sweden during 1970-2007 Abstract The main aim of this thesis is to describe and compare the development of the level of cardiovascular mortality in Czechia and Sweden during 1970-2007, which is contextualized into the changes of the overall mortality. Within the whole group of circulatory diseases the changes of mortality levels in different groups of circulatory diseases or by certain diagnoses are analysed. The analysis is accompanied with the comparison of cardiovascular mortality levels within the whole Europe. Afterwards the thesis focuses on cardiovascular risk factors and the quality of healthcare in both countries. The analysis concludes that the decline of cardiovascular mortality begun in Czechia ten years later than in Sweden but still sooner than in majority of post-communist countries. The decline was in both countries more evident for acute forms of cardiovascular diseases. The decrease in mortality was mainly attributable to progress in healthcare in Czechia whereas in Sweden it was caused particularly by the positive development of risk factors.

Long term development of life expectancy in the world
Jílková, Martina ; Novotný, Josef (advisor) ; Pospíšilová, Lucie (referee)
Life expectancy has been rising since the end of the 18th century. This thesis aims to characterize its long term development with emphasis on the period after 1800, whereas the beginning periods of sustained growth and its dynamics are represented. Gains in survival began successively in individual countries, and it was found that the later the growth began, the more rapid it was. The determinants of mortality decline are set and described, as well. The attention is paid also to the relation between life expectancy and economic level. The analysis proved strong dependence of life expectancy on income in the course of the 20th century. Finally, the exceptions to this trend are discussed.

Mortality patterns and trends in postcommunist countries compared with low mortality populations
Mukhtarova, Zhanyl ; Rychtaříková, Jitka (advisor) ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (referee)
Mortality patterns and trends in post-communist countries compared with low mortality populations Zhanyl Mukhtarova Abstract This research primarily addresses mortality patterns and trends in the post-communist countries of Central Asia, Central Europe and the Baltic region together with low mortality populations such as those of France, Spain and the United States of America. The aim of this research is to analyze mortality patterns and trends in selected post-communist countries and contrast them with low mortality populations between the period of 1990 and 2006. In this study, the main age-specific mortality intensities and the excess male mortality among the selected countries were analyzed. Moreover, the historical overview of mortality development in the selected countries and population longevity was discussed. Concurrently, the influence of socioeconomic conditions and healthy lifestyles and their implications and impact on declining mortality rates were revealed. The research clearly identified several important issues encasing the field of mortality, notably that more work and financial support is necessary to improve the health status of countries within Central Asia.

Effects of sudden air temperature and pressure changes on mortality
Plavcová, Eva
It has been shown that weather influences human health; however, little attention has been payed to the role of sudden changes of weather characteristics. In this work we developed an algorithm for identification of sudden changes of air pressure and temperature over the Czech Republic. Events were selected from the data covering 1986-2005 and were compared with the database of daily all-cause (total) mortality and mortality due to cardiovascular diseases, both for the whole population and for people aged 70 years or more. Increase of mortality was found after significant temperature increase or pressure drop both in summer and winter months. Decrease of mortality occured after significant pressure increase or temperature drop in summer. Mortality variations are usually more pronounced for population aged 70 years or more, and sudden temperature changes affect mortality on cardiovascular diseases more strongly. Changes in mortality were found after passages of cold fronts in summer, too.

Methods of analysis of seasonality in demography
Myšáková, Gabriela ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (advisor) ; Rychtaříková, Jitka (referee)
Methods of analysis of seasonality in demografy Gabriela Myšáková Abstract The thesis presents statistical methods suited for analysis of seasonality in time-series. Three statistical methods have been thoroughly described, namely the time-series decomposition, the X12−ARIMA method and the cointegration of time-series. Further methods applicable for similar analysis have been briefly discussed as well. Three main methods have been subsequently applied to monthly demographic data for the Czech Republic and chosen European countries by natality, nuptiality and mortality. Seasonality has been discovered in all three demographic events and by using the time-series decomposition and the X12−ARIMA method for time-series lay out to separate units, and those progressions have been track by graphic and verbal interpretation. Cluster analysis has been applied to European countries nuptiality and mortality time-series in order to reveal similarities and dissimilarities among particular countries. All the methods were used onto data set by using appropriate procedures in statistical software SAS.
