Csurillová, Michaela ; Lustigová, Michala (advisor) ; Žejglicová, Kristýna (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the influence of physical (in) activity on the health of an aging population using the data of the SHARE study. The first aim of the work was to find out which sociodemographic factors and health and lifestyle factors are related to the level of physical activity. Age and subjective health were found to be the most important factors related to the level of physical activity in the aging population. Another goal was to determine whether there is a relationship between the incidence of selected diseases (myocardial infarction, stroke, diabetes mellitus) and the level of physical activity. It has been shown that regular physical activity at least once a week reduces the risk of incidence of these diseases in an aging population. In the case of diabetes mellitus, even any physical activity reduces the risk of incidence of this disease. Key words: physical activity, health, ageing, SHARE data
