Vrabcová, Michaela ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (advisor) ; Kraus, Jaroslav (referee)
Sex-specific analysis of mortality for selected causes of death in the Czech Republic since 1994 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to evaluate and analyze the differences in mortality between men and women within those groups of causes of death, which had the highest standardized mortality rates differences between men and women in the Czech Republic from 1994 to 2012. Main causes of death counted among these groups are neoplasms, circulatory system diseases and external causes of death. Studied period covers the existence of independent Czech Republic, but with the exclusion of the year 1993 due to changes in the International Classification of Diseases in 1994. This thesis also focuses on risk factors and prevention of considered groups of causes of death, again primarily with regard to gender differences. Indicators used for this purposes consist of standardized mortality rate, the age-specific probability of death from a given cause, temporary life expectancy and decomposition of the difference of temporary life expectancy between men and women by age groups. The probability of death and life expectancy are calculated from abbreviated life tables for a given group of causes of death separately for men and women. Keywords: Czech Republic, mortality by causes of death, life table, differences between the...
