The Risk Factors and General Awareness of Eating Disorders at Pupils Attending Elementary School from the 6th to 9th class
VÁVROVÁ, Eva
This thesis deals with the issue of eating disorders of pupils attending upper primary schools of rural and urban type. The issue of eating disorders is very complex and public often fails to understand it. People do not see the fact that the food and its rejection can turn into a real habit. Eating disorders are not only observed in young women, but also increasingly in children and adolescents. Eating disorders involve serious psychosomatic disorders, significantly affecting the mental and physical status. Thus, they may very negatively affect personality development from childhood to adulthood. They are accompanied with many somatic problems and complications and they can have a very negative influence to the overall health status of an individual. Eating disorders cause long-term problems not only to patients themselves but also to their families, spouses and friends. It is very easy to fall ill with eating disorder, but is very hard to get better.

EATING BEHAVIOUR AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES RELATED TO EATING DISORDERS IN MALE POPULATION
KOUBKOVÁ, Magda
Eating disorders have been studied from different points of view lately. They have occured in the centre of various psychiatric and psychologic diagnostics and therapy surveys and they have also been analysed as a sociocultural element of our lifestyle norms, our values and image standards. The number of men and women suffered from these disorders cannot be neither compared nor omitted. It is statistically clear that about ten per cent of anorexics and bulimics are male patients. Going West, the number of male patients is increasing. These disorders in men are usually connected with jobs, mostly those such as jockeys, gymnasts and dancers. Bulimia and anorexia are reported as typically women disorders therefore men hardly any time concede they can suffer from this problem and need a specialist´s advice.. The aim of the work has been to map eating behaviour, a lifestyle, physical activities and risk factors responsible for eating disorder incidence such as a distorted view of the body and being on a diet among men between the ages of 15 to 30. A quantitative technique approach using questionnaires was applied. There were stated four hypotheses concerning the relation between body acceptance and physical activities, methods used for body weight control and differences in lifestyles of secondary school students.

Quality of life in population with chronic illness, in the case of anorexia and bulimy.
KORECKÁ, Tereza
This paper deals with eating disorders, especially with mental anorexia and mental bulimia. This topic is very up to date and it is important to pay attention to it especially because those who suffer from eating disorders suffer not only physically but also psychically. It should also be mentioned that they may succumb to the disease. There are many factors influencing the origin and course of the disease. It is mostly social and cultural factors and also biological, family and genetic factors. A higher risk of this disease is in women. It is also important that this illness is fostered by the current fashion trends and the whole life style. Extortionate diets, spring hunger-strikes and purificatory cures can easily become a life style. This chase for health influences especially young school girls who do not have a healthy idea on diets. They slip easily into bad eating habits and the fashionable magazines with skinny models persuade them that they act correctly and that anorexia and bulimia are but frights that one doesn{\crq}t have to be afraid of and if there is someone suffering from it, it shall suffice to start to eat and he/she will be all right again. Yet the health complications triggered by these diseases are significant. They are a consequence of long term hunger, vomitting and use of diuretics and laxatives. Eating disorders may cause chronic fatigue, they deteriorate quality of skin, they cause loss of hair, and harm circulation of blood. The liver disfunction may occur as well as immunodeficiency of the whole organism. Mental anorexia and bulimia influence in a significantly negative way the psychologic well being, personal and social life of the patient. The treatment is very difficult and it should be carried out in a complex way. Cognitiv behavioral therapy, pharmacotherapy and self aid groups are of great importance in this field. The paper aimed at proving that people suffering from these diseases suffer from a worse quality of life as well as their family members. A questionnaire of the SF-36 type was used for the research part.

Body image in eating disorders and health-social consequences.
PULCOVÁ, Klára
Eating disorders present very compelling health and social problems. These are psychological malfunctions which can have non-reversible health consequences. These days approximately five percent of namely young girls suffer with this type of malfunction, and according to research, this number constantly grows. Eating disorders are in direct relationship with misinterpreted (negative) self image, namely with non-adequate perception of one{\crq}s own body. The research goal of this work was to map questions of body image towards the relationship to eating disorders and find out possible common or different signs in self evaluation of girls who did not suffer from eating disorders. The work is conceived as explorative research combining components of quality and quantity research. Used in both forms of research a methodology of interviews {--} in the quality part there was used the technique of half-standardised interviews, and in the quantity, the questionnaire technique. The target group was girls who suffered from a serious eating disorder. In the quantity part, the target group was girls between the age 14-25. The research took place in elementary and grammar schools and colleges in České Budějovice. Based on the quality research, the hypothesis of body image was framed in the ages of 14-25 years old. Based on the quantity research, general positive assessment with self appearance without view to the age was found, but also was found dissatisfaction - not so essential in girls with an eating disorder. This work was supposed to lead to increasing of awareness regarding given questions of both non-professional and professional public. I would recommend to increase awareness, not only in consequences of these disorders, but also regarding the long-term ineffectiveness and health wake of inadequate weight-loss methods in both elementary and grammar schools, due to the fact that this is the time most essential for the origin of eating disorders.

Possibilities of primary prevention in children of the early school age in relation to problems of food intake disorders
FITTLOVÁ, Michala
Food-intake disorders belong to serious health problems and their prevalence is increasing all the time. They represent serious problem in children especially because they are not expected at this age. Combating this disease is difficult. The easiest way is to prevent these food-intake disorders (Anorexia nervosa, Bulimia nervosa) by targeted primary prevention both in basic schools and in families. Theoretical part of my thesis is aimed at definition of junior school age. Next part is dedicated to the characteristics of food-intake disorders and prevention in children and youth. The last part concerns correct children´ s nutrition. The research is divided into two parts. For quantitative research the technique of e-mail questioning was used. Questions were established for basic schools in South Bohemia region. For qualitative research was used half-guided dialogue with parents of junior school age children. First aim was to chart the possibilities of primary prevention within the frame of food-intake disorders in the South Bohemia region in chosen basic schools. Further aim was to find out the parents´ opinions on problems of food-intake disorders. Both aims were fulfilled. Hypothesis I had to document that within basic schools the targeted primary prevention in junior school age children in problems of food-intake disorders is not ensured. Hypothesis II should confirm that the offer of comprehensive education for pedagogues in problems of food-intake disorders is missing. Both hypotheses were confirmed as well. From qualitative research (half -standardized dialogue) two hypotheses emerged. Hypothesis III: It is necessary to increase the informedness in sphere of food-intake disorders. Hypothesis IV: Healthy nutrition is only one of important aspects of prevention. I chose the topic for my thesis (Possibilities of primary prevention in junior school age children in relation to problems of food-intake disorders) because it is up-to-date subject and after all it started to be discussed in public. I am interested in possibilities of primary prevention, whether they exist and are used.

EATING DISORDERS - MONITORING OF TEENAGE GIRLS AWARNESS IN THESE PROBLEMS
TICHÁ, Jana
In this bachelor´s thesis I am describing eating disorders. I have chosen this topic for its urgency and still increasing popularity of slenderness and excessive thinnes amoung young people. According to MKN{--}10 identiccaly with DSM-IV American psychiatric association include in the concept of eating disorders two clearest defined syndroms: anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Both of these defects are very similar, the following signs are charakteristic: intensive effort at slimming connected with restriction of taken energy and with oncreasing outlay of energy, being afraid of fatness, an extrem attention to food, own body and weight. Eating disorders mostly appear in adolescent girls and young women. Women are suffering from this defekt ten-times more than men. They ussualy have a chronic course, serious mental, somatic and social consequences. There is not a key risk factor and there seem to always occur a complex constellation of social, cultural and family influence factors, life events and personality features with developmental and biological factors. Food intake disorders prevention is still at a very low level in the Czech republic. However high attention is paid to prevention and dealing with overweight.
