Health and Wellness of Children in Group Homes Regarding Healthy Life Choices and Principles
WALENKOVÁ, Veronika
Abstract Lifestyle is one of the most important factors influencing health of population. Adherence to principles of healthy lifestyle in children and subsequently healthy adult persons are an important contribution to the future of children and our whole society. Inadequate lifestyle in children may lead to some civilization diseases, especially cardiovascular, tumor and metabolic diseases in their adulthood. In this thesis I focused on lifestyle in children living in children´s homes, and compared their adherence to the principles of healthy lifestyle to that in children living in families. The research was conducted with children aged 12{--}16 years, attending basic school. The objective of the thesis was to assess lifestyle of children in children´s homes, to what extent the lifestyle of children in children´s homes is different from that of children growing up in families and what is these children´s relationship to the prin-ciples of a healthy lifestyle. In relation to the objectives I stated three hypotheses in which I assume that lifestyle of children living in children´s homes is different from that of children living in families, that children living in children´s homes are more effected with negative influence of their neighbourhood and more often have negative attitude to adherence to the principles of healthy lifestyle than children living in families. In my thesis I chose the methodology of quantitative research using question-naires. The survey was conducted in children from four children´s homes in the Central Bohemian region ( CHH Solenice, CHH Přestavlky, Sedlec-Prčice CHH and CHH Korkyně) and in children living in families, attending both the school implementing the program ``School supporting health{\crqq} (ZŠ Jiráskovy sady Příbram), and the school not participating in that program (ZŠ 28. října Příbram). I addressed a total of 93 children from children´s homes and 95 children living in families to fill in identical questionnaires. The questionnaires were anonymous and the questions were focused on evaluating children´s attitudes to principles of healthy lifestyle. There were 35 questions focused on knowledge of healthy lifestyle principles, healthy diet, drinking regime, physical activity, leisure time, smoking, alcohol con-sumption and drug abuse. On the basis of completed questionnaires analysis I compared the two groups of children regarding their attitude to adherence to principles of healthy lifestyle.

The catering customs of the Jihočeská university´s students
HROMÍŘOVÁ, Jana
SUMMARY: One of the main aims of the humankind is to obtain and preserve health. To achieve this it is important to prevent illnesses; we talk about prevention. Prevention consists of many important factors; such as right nourishment, reasonable physical and mental activities and optimal vital life. That`s why I selected subject for my bachelor work: {\clqq}The catering customs of the Jihoceska university`s students``, which aims at the right nourishment of the undergraduates. The aim of my work was to find out whether the students of the JCU take meals according to the principles of the right nourishment during their studies and if the standard of their nourishment depends on their financial situation. The result from my questionnaire is clear: Students of the JCU don`t take the right principles of the right nourishment. Negative influences have impact on their right nourishment during studies are iregularity of diet, insufficiency of free time and insufficiency of finance. Students of the JCU prefer light pastry and sweets in opposite to fish, pulse and fermented milk products. It is necessary to implement to their menu more healthy food, such as fruit, vegetable, pulse, dark wholemeal pastry, fish and it is also important to keep regularity in drinking minimally 1,5 l of liquid per day. Students of the JCU should have more physical trainings to keep optimal weight and prevent illnesses. Important factors for electing diet are financial together with taste, smell and appearance of the food. Result from the next questionnaire, which I did in France, is that the French students take more right principles of the right nourishment. Their diet is light and better to consume. It consists mainly from vegetable, poultry, pulse and fish. By my opinion it would be better for students of the JCU to take principles of the French students and to import food of French cuisine to their menu.
