Treatment of Childhood Obesity in Oliva Children's Hospital
Nováková, Kateřina ; Střítecký, Rudolf (advisor) ; Kandilaki, Daniela (referee)
This diploma thesis analyses children's obesity treatment as it is applied in the Oliva children medical institution (ODL), Říčany. Managerial-economical methods were used to evaluate the benefits of the children's obesity therapy. The study hypotheses were that a) the ODL obesity treatment works well and b) the financial results are stable. Based on analysis of incomplete data from 2009, this study found that mean percentage loss of initial weight reached 5.8% (6.1% for boys, 5.6% for girls), a satisfactory result. In order to maximise individual weight loss, the length of one stay should exceed a month (30 days). The second part of the hypothesis, the financial analysis of the weight loss program, was not supported by the data. If economical stability (break even point) is to be achieved, the sanatorium must operate 350 days per year having 163 occupied beds. However, there were only 108 beds available in 2009 and the number of the beds continues to decrease. There are other, external factors that suggest long-term economic difficulties, such as changes in the national health-care system, pending property relations, and difficulties with both salaries and staff. In conclusion, recommendations are offered that can improve the program, given the constraints imposed on it by factors within and without the ODL.

SOUČKOVÁ, Jana
I have engaged in the prevalence of overweight and obesity at pupils of the second grade in elementary schools in the district Trebic in my bachelory work. At first I had studied theoretical knowledge refering to overweight and obesity. I have devoted to this knowledge in the theoretical part of my bachelory work. I had contacted several schools in the Trebic region. They had mostly satisfied me. After meeting with headmasters of selected schools I had handed round the letter to parents of students, which were acquainted with the topic of thesis and approval or disapproval, that their child participates in the survey. I had implemented research measurement with the consent of parents of these students. Using the values of BMI, waist and age measurements, I had examined the prevalence of overweight and obesity at pupils of seventh and eight classes. Then I worked with these results in the practical part of my thesis. I have compared the prevalence of overweight and obesity by girls and boys, but you can also find overall amounts of prevalence overweight and obesity by all surveyed pupils.

BUZKOVÁ, Aneta
In this bachelor thesis I dealt with the prevalence of overweight and obesity by children on the second degree at the primary school in the region of Tabor. The thesis highlights the problems of increasing weight by children. It is divided into the theoretical and practical part. In the theoretical part I try to give comprehensive information on the topic, summarizing the basic knowledge related to the obesity by preadolescents, and give the overview of possible related complications. The thesis also provides insight into the possibilites of treatment. The practical part is then focused on charting the occurrence of overweight and obesity by the children of age 12-14 years. Research measurements are generally attended by 182 pupils of both sexes from four primary schools and one secondary school. To the evaluation of participation of obese individuals and overweight individuals was used Body Mass Index (BMI), which I compared with the percentage graphs of BMI.

Prevalence of Childhood Obesity and Associated Problems
SLAVÍČKOVÁ, Klára
Obesity is a major concern not only of the Czech Republic, but of all developed countries of the world. It is therefore a global pandemic, against which it is necessary to introduce effective measures. According to epidemiological studies, the countries of Central and Eastern Europe are among the states with the highest prevalence of obesity. In most European countries, the prevalence of obesity in women is higher than in men, by about 3-6%. But a big issue is childhood obesity, which predisposes individuals to obesity also in adulthood. This results in an increased risk of premature morbidity and mortality due to complications of obesity. In obese children the risk of musculoskeletal diseases and cardiovascular and respiratory systems is increased. Obesity often leads to disorders of sexual development, skin complications and changes in the psyche. According to the World Health Organization, there are about 43 million overweight or obese children in the world. The treatment of childhood obesity is not simple. It is necessary to establish a long-term strategic plan, based on the lifestyle change focused on nutrition and eating habits, physical activity and strengthening the self-confidence of the child. This diploma thesis was carried out by the quantitative research through the secondary data analysis. The research group consisted of children registered at the general practitioner for children and adolescents, Šárka Mičanová, M.D. The main goal of my thesis was to survey the prevalence of obesity and overweight in children at this selected pediatric office. Four hypotheses were stated for the research. Hypothesis No.1, children with a high BMI at the age of 5 years show the signs of obesity also at the age of 15-17-years, has not been confirmed. Hypothesis No.2, in childhood, obesity originating in alimentation prevails over obesity of endocrinological origin, has been confirmed. The hypothesis that obesity prevalence has increased in recent years has not been confirmed. The last hypothesis presuming that levels of biochemical markers in children with overweight and obesity do not differ from those of children with a normal weight has not been confirmed.

Diferences in body image in eating disorders and obesity
PULCOVÁ, Klára
ABSTRACT Eating disorders (mental anorexia and bulimia) and obesity entail grave health, social and economic problems, and lead to detrimental health consequences, often irreversible consequences. Currently the disorders affect about 6% of population, with young girls particularly vulnerable and 16% of women obese. As the relevant surveys reveal, these figures are constantly on the rise. Apart from producing somatic symptoms, both the disorders, anorexia and bulimia, have been observed to bring about typical negative emotions and maladaptive cognition, first and foremost a distorted (negative) self-image focused on inappropriate perception of own body also known as the body image. The paper aims to find out and mutually compare features characteristic of the body image issues as they relate to the eating disorders and obesity / excessive weight. The paper is based on a survey combining qualitative and quantitative research strategies. To collect data, both strategies employed the technique of inquiry - the qualitative part relied on the theory of semi-structured interviews while the quantitative part used a questionnaire. The data thus acquired were processed by quantitative and qualitative procedures. Building on the previous Bachelor paper intended to map the issues of body image in persons with eating disorders, this paper expands the previous survey set of women suffering the condition and adds a new set of obese females. Results of the qualitative part of the survey brought about hypotheses on how the mentioned disorders affected the body image. The quantitative part of the survey revealed similar characteristics in the perceived body image in both the sets, but disclosed also some differences. Significant differences were found when the body image of the diseased persons was compared with that encountered in healthy population. This paper can boost the awareness of this subject in lay public but also in professional community, primarily where psychotherapy and prevention are regarded.

Kinesiotherapy of diabetes mellitus
CHALUPSKÁ, Tereza
My bachelor thesis is focused on kinesiotherapy in diabetes mellitus with focus on type 2 of the disease. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic whole-life disease leading to high morbidity, disability and mortality. A patient with high glycaemia level fluctuation and variable inadequate body mass (and further decompensation indicators) overburdens his/her organism and does not contribute to postponement of occurrence of cardiovascular, neuropathic, nephropathic, retinopathic and other problems. Adequately selected kinesiotherapy help people with diabetes mellitus compensate this disease. The theoretical part deals with diabetes mellitus in general and discusses physical activities focused on diabetes mellitus. The practical parts processes four case reports (women with diabetes mellitus type 2 diagnose) in the form of qualitative research. The first three respondents take regular exercises in groups divided according to physical and mental ability. The fourth respondent does not participate in any physical activity in the groups. Anamneses were found out through semi controlled interviews. Check-up results (dynamic examination of spine, anthropometrical examination, goniometrical examination, examination of shortened muscle groups, examination of weakened muscle groups, hypermobility examination, neurological examination, measurement of heart rate and blood pressure, determination of glucose concentration and HbA1c) were collected by direct observation. The aim of the work was to provide a theoretical outline of kinesiotherapy possibilities in diabetics, to map the forms of physical activities among diabetics and to evaluate efficiency of the individual physical activities of diabetics. Personal interest and active approach to physical activity regime are the main preconditions to successful kinesiotherapy in individuals suffering from diabetes mellitus. In the instance of individual and purely personal goal a suitable form of physical activities can be found for diabetics and thus contribute to compensation of the disease.
