ŠTĚPÁNOVÁ, Vendula
The bachelor's thesis deals with the topic of eating disorders in students of nutritional therapy and the influence of nutrition on their nutritional status. This work is focused on the issue of eating disorders (hereinafter referred to as "PPD") and their prevalence among nutritional therapy students and the consequences of eating disorders. These are now very widespread diseases that have not been talked about enough until now. Diseases mainly affect young people, but adults are no exception, as their treatment is both psychologically and often nutritionally difficult. The aim of the work is to determine the risk of pathological eating behavior in nutritional therapy students, how the diet of students with PPP and without PPP differs. Data and results are determined using the standardized questionnaires ORTO-15 and EAT-26 (Eating Attitudes Test-26) and using a self-administered questionnaire. The practical part also deals with the analysis of the obtained menus and then the eating habits of the students of the field of nutritional therapy according to whether they are/have been through PPP or not. Nutrition therapy students who underwent PPP show different eating behavior than students without PPP, especially in controlling their energy intake and reduced carbohydrate intake. Overall, 10.6 % of students achieved a pink score in the EAT-26 questionnaire and even 74 % in the ORTO-15 questionnaire. It is certainly advisable to continue to increase awareness of PPP among experts and the lay public.

Neprašová, Marie ; Hubáček, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Chrpová, Diana (referee)

Anorexia nervosa - recovery
Chudačíková, Dominika ; Presslerová, Pavla (referee)
The rigorous thesis deals with anorexia nervosa as one of the basic forms of eating disorders, with emphasis on the very common chronic progression of this serious psychiatric illness. This thesis is based on the scientific fact, that conspicuous eating habits, constant control of thinking and behavior, as well as self-perception disorders, are observed in most cases, even in already cured patients. Risk factors such a long-term stress or prone personality, can result in the acute phase of anorexia nervosa. The rigorous thesis is qualitatively focused. The chosen methods of data collection are a questionnaire survey and a following semi-structured interview. The condition for participation in the research is the past experience with anorexia nervosa, without the current presence of the acute phase of this disease.

The influence of diet on the absence and recovery of the menstrual cycle
MARTINÁSKOVÁ, Markéta
The aim of my Bachelors thesis was to find out what effect diet has on menstrual cycle loss and what effect diet has on menstrual cycle repair. Eating disorders, malnutrition, alternative diets, low body fat, hormonal contraceptives, stress, reduced energy intake and excessive physical activity can have a negative impact on the menstrual system. One of the most common forms of secondary amenorrhea is functional hypothalamic amenorrhea. Low level of estrogen occur, which has a negative effect not only on the reproductive system of women, but also on their overall health. Secondary amenorrhea that lasts 6 months or more results in thinning of the bones (osteoporosis) in postmenopausal age. Early therapy is necessary for the proper function of the female reproductive system. In the practical part, I evaluated a questionnaire of my own design and analyzed the diet records from respondents who have faced or are facing loss of menstrual cycle. The results of my questionnaire investigation confirm the negative impact of the above mentioned factors on menstruation. More than half of the women interviewed have experience of eating disorders. Almost 1/3 of the women are on a reduction diet. The daily energy intake of some of the respondents is below 1500 kcal. The vast majority of the women participate regularly in sports. More than 1/2 of the women experience frequent fatigue, stress and were facing difficult life situation at the time of loss of menstruation. Only less than 1/4 of the respondents use hormonal contraceptives or have an IUD in place. According to the questionnaire survey, more than half of gynaecologists do not deal with loss of menstrual cycle. After evaluating individual diets, it is clear that loss of menstrual periods occurs with low energy intake. By increasing energy intake, menstruation returns.

The effect of addictive substances on the nutritional status of patients
JÍLKOVÁ, Kateřina
This bachelor's thesis looks at the influence of addictive substances on a patient's nutritional status. The aim of this work was to map the nutritional status of patients using addictive substances and any change in nutritional status during treatment. The theoretical section looks at the characteristics and distribution of addictive substances, the outcome of their effect on the patient's nutritional state and psyche. Furthermore, this work focuses on the concept of addiction, syndrome of addiction and treatment. It then focuses in more detail on eating disorders in their context of users of addictive substances. I have chosen qualitative research for this work. The research body of this work is formed by ten psychiatric hospital patients. In the form of semi-structured interviews, it identifies eating habits at the time of active substance use and changes in those habits during the treatment process. The practical part consists of two chapters. The first is dedicated to case studies of individual patients, calculating energy intake from weekly menus. In the second chapter, the results of semi-structured interviews with patients are evaluated. This work shows that being in a drug rehabilitation clinic benefits the patients studied in terms of their nutritional status. Most of them experienced weight gain and subsequent stabilisation due to a regular and balanced diet. Part of the benefit of this work is helping to adjust and renew menus, calculate the dietary system and overall communication with patients at this facility.

The health aspects of the body image
KRATOCHVÍL, Jakub
Body image and health are two closely related concepts that affect the quality of our lives. The aim of this diploma thesis was to gather current knowledge about the interconnectedness of the above-mentioned concepts and to evaluate some risk areas of the promoted body image patterns in relation to the possibilities of damage or impairment of health. In the theoretical part of the work, a research was created, which was processed on the basis of Czech and foreign literature. At the same time, this section identified the health risks associated with the pursuit of the current, society-accepted bodily ideal. The empirical part of the work contains own research, the aim of which was to assess the level of subjectively perceived satisfaction with them in the adult population of men and women in relation to BMI categories. The research took place in April 2020 and involved a total of 80 adults, including 40 men and 40 women. The revised Life Satisfaction Questionnaire, specifically the Health area excluded from it, served as a tool for assessing satisfaction with the level of health. For the purpose of evaluating satisfaction with body image, an evaluation scale was used. The results of the research revealed that men evaluate their health and body image better than women, and that individuals with a BMI in normal show better results in both areas than individuals suffering from overweight or obesity. The diploma thesis can serve as a material to spread awareness about the risks of eating disorders.

Nothing tastes as good as hunger (television documentary about anorexia)
Slavíková, Kristýna ; Macková, Veronika (advisor) ; Lokšík, Martin (referee)
Eating disorders (abbreviated as ED) are complex mental illnesses that manifest not only on the level of the mind, but also have a profound effect on the physical health of patients. Individuals who suffer from one of the types of ED often face a significantly reduced quality of life, as well as misunderstandings and unfounded prejudices from the general public. Arguably the most well-known variant of the disease is anorexia nervosa, which is also one of the psychiatric diagnoses with the highest mortality rate. Although the incidence of the disease has increased in recent years, for example as a result of social media and the COVID-19 pandemic, audiovisual coverage of the topic has lagged behind, as there are few recent films dealing with the disease. The television documentary, Nothing Tastes as Good as Hunger, therefore seeks to bring the audience closer to living with anorexia through the authentic story of 19-year-old Tereza Putišová, giving viewers an uncensored insight into the mind of a girl who has her own rich experience of the disease.
