Development of Life Expectancy in Czech Republic and selected European countries
Bršlíková, Jana ; Miskolczi, Martina (advisor) ; Šimpach, Ondřej (referee)
This thesis presents a comparison of trends in life expectancy in the Czech Republic and selected European countries in the period of 1950 -- 2010 for each gender separately. Comparison between countries is prepared based on data from the Human Mortality Database. Life expectancy is currently still prolonging for each of selected countries this occurs with various intensity. Life expectancy in this work differ sat representatives of post-communist countries, especially by significant long-term stagnation in the 60s -- 80s of 20th century, which gradually contributed to creation of significant differences among those remaining selected countries, where the growth is recorded. These differences, however, are slowly decreasing, as well as the range between genders.

The Aging of European Populations
Pospíchalová, Barbora ; Miskolczi, Martina (advisor) ; Nývlt, Ondřej (referee)
The objective of the thesis is to evaluate process of ageing of European populations that is in process in particular countries differently. Further, the objective is to denote factors which contributed to this development. Thanks to considerable decline of fertility characteristics in the monitored period there has been observed decline for persons under age of 19. Because of that young-age dependency ratio decline in all European regions. At the same time due to the increase of the 65years old and older people there is increase of the old-age dependency ratio. The total dependency ratio has declined and this trend turned up significantly in last few years. In the future there is expected considerable increase the economic strain imposed on the productive people by the non-productive persons. There is significant difference of the life expectancy between European countries. In the near future higher rating growth will be expected in the less developed countries. More developed countries do not have such a big growth potential in this case. At the same time the values of life expectancy at birth are getting closer together between men and women.

Population ageing in the Czech Republic and surrounding countries
Podzimková, Michaela ; Miskolczi, Martina (advisor) ; Pechholdová, Markéta (referee)
The bachelor thesis shows ageing of population over the last twenty years in the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland and the Slovak Republic using large number of demographic indicators describing the dynamics and intensity of population ageing. It aims to outline possible future developments and impacts on individuals and the society. The process of ageing has been going on for several years almost all over the world mainly due to declining natality and mortality rates and is expected to continue in the coming decades. During the reported period, there has been a large increase in the proportion of persons over fifty years and as the population ages, number of people in the oldest age groups has also rapidly increased. In the coming years, it is more likely that Old-Age Dependency Ratio will continue to increase and it will refer to a situation where the number of recipients of money from health and pension systems will be funded by a relatively small group of people in the productive age.

The development of mortality in the Czech Republic
Vimmrová, Hana ; Fiala, Tomáš (advisor) ; Šimková, Martina (referee)
The goal of this bachelor work is to provide a comprehensive overview of the development of mortality in the Czech Republic according to data of the Czech Statistical Office from 1920 to 2010. In the introduction there is mentioned the metodology of mortality indicators. The main part analyzes the development of infant and neonatal mortality, specific mortality rates by sex for five-year age intervals, development of life expectancy (at births and at selected ages) and indirectly standardized rates mortality for males and females separately. In conclusion, regional differences are compared by selected characteristics of mortality in the regions of the Czech Republic.

Comparison of mortality in the Czech Republic and other EU countries
Hladíková, Petra ; Fiala, Tomáš (advisor) ; Nývlt, Ondřej (referee)
Theme of this study is to compare mortality in the Czech Republic and other EU countries in the period 1960-2010. The introduction describes some of the methodological procedures of calculating the mortality characteristics. The main part is dedicated to analysis of two mortality characteristics, infant mortality (without dividing gender) and life expectancy at birth, at the age of 20, 40 and 65. Countries are divided into "Eastern" and "Western". The study is focused mainly on comparing these two groups of countries and the position of the Czech Republic due to these two groups of countries.

Recent changes in the mortality rate of cardiovascular diseases and neoplasms in the Czech Republic
Valášková, Veronika ; Pechholdová, Markéta (advisor) ; Šimpach, Ondřej (referee)
The aim of my dissertation is to describe and compare recent changes in the mortality rate of two of the most common causes of death in the Czech Republic. I divided my work into two main parts. The first part of my dissertation is theoretical and consists of an inventory of data sources that I used, list of basic concepts related to mortality, coding of causes of death, history of international classification of diseases, institutions dealing with these issues, and concluding the theoretical essay, the term cardiovascular revolution is introduced. In the second part, at first, I analyse the development of the overall mortality, which is followed by the comparison of the development of mortality of neoplasms' selected causes and diseases of the circulatory system, using the standardized measures.

Territorial differentiation of mortality in the Czech Republic
Šišková, Lucie ; Langhamrová, Jitka (advisor) ; Šimpach, Ondřej (referee)
The aim of this elaboration was to identify the character of the individual regions of the Czech Republic from the point of view of mortality. At the beginning of the elaboration the basic indicators of mortality, direct and indirect method of standardization were described in detail and then life tables were mentioned. Through the basic indicators of mortality was evaluated long-term situation in the regions. It was found out that mortality rate expressed relatively, neonatal and infant mortality rates are declining in the long-term nature, but in the past few years their values were fluctuating more. The common feature of both the Czech Republic and each region is increasing life expectancy. Life expectancy is often discussed indicator as it is closely related to the aging process. The elaboration also includes comparison of values of life expectancy in the Czech Republic with the values of selected European countries and expected trend of life expectancy in the future. Moreover, the attention is also paid to mortality in the Czech Republic in the last 20 years, focusing on the 90 years of the 20th century when there was a significant improvement in mortality rates. Conclusion of the elaboration deals with mortality by cause of death. In this part cause of death is precisely defined, the classification of cause of death is given and also the basic principles of classification are described. The analysis of mortality by cause of death in the Czech Republic and regions follows. The annex describes the procedure to calculate the complete life tables, zoning classification and the classification of cause of death are given and there are also tables with data about mortality in the years 2000-2010 for the Czech Republic and its regions.

Healthy life years indicator
Illeová, Iva ; Langhamrová, Jitka (advisor) ; Kozelský, Tomáš (referee)
Object of this work was to make the analysis of healthy life years indicator. First, the work is devoted on clarifying the term healthy life years, it is focussed on indicators of life expectancy of the medical conditions, and collecting data from surveys. From which is possible to get data to calculate indicators. There is a particular attention on harmonized surveys in European Union. Work demonstrates methods of calculation and availability of already calculated data. Work continues with analysis of the trend of healthy life expectancy in the Czech Republic by gender and then compares the healthy life years to life expectancy. The work also observes the trend of growth rate of a healthy life years in the Czech Republic for the period between 2005 to 2009. A part of work is focused on the aging population of the Czech Republic. The work also includes the development of selected characteristics of aging such as aging index, the elderly dependency ratio and shares of biological generations on the total population of Czech Republic. Finaly, the work is focused on healthy life years in the European Union. The work shows the basic official English-Czech terminology, describes the European organizations focused on the development of healthy life years indicator and at the end the work compares healthy life years with life expectancy in the EU Member States.

Mortality by cause of death: international comparison of recent trends
Filip, Jakub ; Pechholdová, Markéta (advisor) ; Langhamrová, Jitka (referee)
The aim of my work is to describe and compare changes in mortality according to classes of causes of death in the Czech Republic and selected European countries between 1994 - 2009. The work includes mortality characteristics of the Czech Republic, Germany, Estonia, Austria and Finland. The work is divided into three main parts. The first part describes terms related to mortality. The second part deals with the coding of causes of death, its history and origin. The third part is devoted to comparing mortality by cause of death, where the emphasis is on diseases of the circulatory system, malignant neoplasms and external causes.
