Also abnormal disorders such as binge eating, orthorexia nervosa, bigorexia and drunkorexia are introduced here.

The thesis also mentions both the links of eating disorders to the obesity and the relationship of these disorders with trendy lowering diets. Also a brief BMI characteristics is introduced. The conclusion of the work is devoted to the prevention of eating disorders. The practical part of the thesis presents the results based on my research. It had the form of blind questionnaires for two groups of students from the Secondary Grammar School of Milevsko and the Vocational School of Milevsko. The questionnaires focussed on the students? awareness of eating disorders issue, of optimum BMI and it also focused on their personal experience with lowering diets. Overall results of the research show that the students are roughly informed about the issue, however, it is essential to supply them with lacking information and focus on prevention at tender age. At the same time it is important not to underestimate dieting, as lowering diets pose a big risk for developing these disorders and not to neglect lack of information regarding the BMI values.

Prevalence of obesity in children in a classical kindergarden and a healthy life style kindergarden in České Budějovice
HORNÁTOVÁ, Klára
Children obesity is a frequently discussed issue nowadays as it becomes the extents of an international epidemic. It occurs in greater frequency in lower age categories, which is caused mainly by change in eating habits, a wrong composition of meals and great lack of motion. Children nowadays prefer sitting in front of their computers or television. Children obesity brings along mental harm to the child. He/she is often being laughed at for his/her weight and causing the child to feel alone and seeking solitude and many children thus succumb to overeating. Besides obesity causes health problems such diabetes mellitus, hypertension, asthma, locomotive organs disease and mental problems. Therefore kindergarden is so important since children meet other eating habits than at home. The family is often the trigger of unhealthy eating habits. Quantitative research was applied in the bachelor thesis by means or a questionnaire for the parents. The researched file represented preschool children in the age of 3 to 6 years of age. The questionnaires were distributed in two kindergardens, one of which was a healthy life style kindergarden and the second was a classical kindergarden. Two goals were set in the paper. To assess the rate of obesity growth in children in kindergardens and to monitor the attitude of children and parents to the topic of food and obesity. The research has shown that obesity rate keeps increasing, however there is a smaller rate of obesity in the healthy life style kindergarden than in the classical one. In general, parents are well informed on the food and obesity topic in both kindergardens but in practice they do not adhere to the correct principles. Further, two hypotheses were set. Children in healthy life style kindergarden eat healthier food according to principles of rational nutrition (taking account of food in the kindergarden) and have lower BMI than other children of the same age. The first hypothesis was thus confirmed. The second hypothesis that parents are not sufficiently informed on the right eating habits for children was not confirmed. The results of the research in the bachelor thesis can be applied as study material and they were offered to parents who took part in the research.

Obesity in the elderly: The health and social issues
KLÍMOVÁ, Alžběta
ABSTRACT The present bachelor thesis is entitled Health and Social Aspects of Obesity in the Elderly. Obesity is a serious chronic metabolic disease characterized by an increased fat percentage in body composition with a simultaneous increase of body mass beyond the normal range. Obesity needs to be seen both as a disease and as an important risk factor contributing to the development of a number of other conditions. The results of extensive studies have clearly demonstrated an increase in the number of people affected by overweight or obesity on a worldwide scale. The rising population prevalence and incidence of obesity prompted the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1997 to declare obesity a worldwide epidemic. The elderly constitute a high-risk group in terms of obesity development. The body{\crq}s reduced energy requirements on the one hand and the deeply entrenched poor dietary habits with an excess of low-quality foods coupled with reduced physical activity on the other hand necessarily lead to overweight and obesity. This serious chronic disease requires a comprehensive, individual-focused diagnostic and therapeutic approach. The main and irreplaceable role in combating obesity is played by prevention, which should become a society-wide task. This bachelor thesis consists of a theoretical and an empirical part. The theoretical section explains concepts related to the thesis topic, i.e.: obesity definition, obesity prevalence, causes of obesity development, effects of obesity, diagnostics in obesity medicine, treatment of obesity and obesity prevention. It also describes the issue of obesity in the elderly. The aim of the thesis was to ascertain attitudes within the elderly population towards the issue of obesity, as well as assess their level of interest in health and healthy lifestyles and whether they know and follow the current trends in healthy nutrition. Another goal was to examine their willingness to get actively involved in lifestyle change, thus assuming responsibility for their state of health. For the purposes of research the thesis used a quantitative research technique. Questioning was chosen as a method, the resulting technique used being a questionnaire. The practical part of the bachelor thesis closes with an analysis including an evaluation of results. The research results show that the elderly do not regard obesity as a substantial health problem. In my opinion, the stated aim of the thesis has been achieved.

Nonpharmacological treatment of the risk faktors of atherosclerosis
HARTOVÁ, Taťána
Cardiovascular diseases are the most frequent death causation in most advanced countries. The citizens of the Czech Republic are unambiguously considered a population with an increased risk profile of untimely atherosclerosis. The paper addresses quantification of common risk factors of cardiovascular diseases (arterial hypertension, diabetes, smoking, obesity), monitoring of the number of other residential treatments, other cardiovascular incidents and deaths and especially the depressive disorder of 200 patients (aged 36 {--} 86 years) of the Invasive Cardiology Department of Nemocnice Karlovy Vary, s. r. o. indicated to be subject to coronarographic examination. As concerns depressive patients, we encounter the cardiovascular disease and sudden cardiac death more often than with the non-depressive ones. This applies also in the event when risk factors of cardiovascular disorders in the anamnesis are excluded in both groups. A man with a cardiovascular illness experiences a significant break period. He is directly limited in terms of his health and endangered in terms of his existence, social life and often even his life itself. Psychic changes under those circumstances are almost regular, the depression development is assumable. As many as 13 % of the approached cardiac patients state the occurrence of typical problems accompanying the depression in the past 14 days, with 27 % of them, the problems lasted longer than a week. The whole-life prevalence of depression ranges between 5 and 16%, a higher occurrence of depressive patients among cardiac patients is hence apparent. The average BMI of monitored women is 29,12 {--} hence at the border of normal weight and overweight, the average BMI of monitored men amounts to 29,20 {--} which indicates their obesity. Hence one may confirm that as concerns the monitored persons, a higher body mass index (BMI) is confirmed with monitored persons. The average wasteline is 104,29 with monitored women and 104,83 with monitored men {--} i.e. the content of visceral fat is considerable. When monitoring other residential treatments within half a year, most patients were those with angina pectoris. Regardless of their diagnosis, only three patients died.

Adolescents as a group of risk in the sphere of feeding and their active life
DEDKOVÁ, Veronika
The focus of this paper is on movement, sporting and healthy nourishment of the young people at the age from fifteen to twenty studying at the two grammar schools in České Budějovice. I also inquired the occurance of anorexia and obesity on the chosen sample of the students. This work can be divided into two parts. The first one is concentrated on using albumens, fats, sacharids and liquids in nourishment. While it deals with eating disorders and moving activities, it offers several types of alternative nourishment. The second part presents the research into nourishment and moving activities on the chosen sample of the students. The results are made using the BIA and BMI methods (dealing with the height, weight and amount of fats). The graphs show that the obesity appears only by the very small number of the inquired students, moreover, the anorexia does not apper at all.
