Regional differentiation of cause-specific mortality in selected countries of Central Europe
Domonkos, Zsolt ; Burcin, Boris (advisor) ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the differentiation in mortality rates at the international and regional level (NUTS 2) in selected countries of Central Europe (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Germany, Austria, Switzerland). At the country level, it examines the development of total mortality and cause- specific mortality since 1990. At the regional level, it evaluates the regional differences in total mortality and cause-specific mortality in the period 2008-2010. The thesis makes use of demographic indices (life expectancy, dispersion measure of mortality, lifespan disparity, standardised death rate) and tools of statistical analysis (Poisson regression, cluster analysis). The analysis reveals that mortality rates have decreased in Central European countries, although significant differences in the intensity of mortality can still be observed at the international as well as regional level.

Sehnalová, Barbora ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (advisor) ; Kašpar, Dan (referee)
Comparison of specific characteristics of mortality in the Czech Republic and Slovakia from time of their independence Abstract The main aim of the thesis is to compare the differences in mortality trends in the Czech Republic and Slovakia during 1993-2013. The development of mortality is analyzed according to age, sex and five causes of death using the life expectancy at birth, life expectancy at age 25 and 65, standardized mortality rate of chosen causes of deaths and age specific mortality rate. Results of the analytical part of the thesis show that mortality trends decreased during 1993- 2013 but the differences among mortality in both selected countries occurred. Mortality in both the analyzed countries differed above all for cardiovascular diseases and neoplasms. Keywords: mortality, Czech Republic, Slovakia, causes of death, age, sex

Maláková, Kateřina ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (advisor) ; Kohoutová, Barbora (referee)
Sex-specific analysis of mortality for malignant neoplasms in the Czech Republic in the years 1994-2013 Abstract The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyze and describe the evolution of mortality due to malignant neoplasms in the Czech Republic from 1994 to 2013 and to study mortality of malignant neoplasms by sexes in detail in the chosen spatial and temporal distribution for the purpose of identifying possible factors which can have an influence on differences between men and women. This thesis deals with mortality from selected causes of death in the malignant neoplasms in addition to the analysis of mortality for the whole group of malignant tumours. There was used standardized mortality rate as the main indicator of mortality and the probability of death by age and decomposition of the difference in life expectancy at birth by cause of death and age between 1994 and 2013 were also used as a more detailed analysis of mortality. During the reported period standardized mortality rate decreased for the whole group of malignant neoplasms and for most particular causes of death for both sexes. It was also found that the differences between men and women are rather decreasing, but for some causes of death such as malignant neoplasm of colon, malignant neoplasm of bronchus and lungs, and malignant neoplasm...

Process and timing of cardiovascular revolution in selected European countries
Raymanová, Petra ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (advisor) ; Velková, Alice (referee)
Process and timing of cardiovascular revolution in selected European countries Abstract Structure of mortality according to age, sex and causes of death is changing over time. Several authors are trying to describe or generalize these changes and create theories or concepts about the changes in mortality structure. One of these concepts is cardiovascular revolution. This concept describes changes in mortality in Europe is the second half of 20th century. Nevertheless in some European countries these changes are still in progress. The concept of cardiovascular revolution concerns the decrease of cardiovascular disease mortality. Within cardiovascular diseases the highest mortality is caused by ischemic heart diseases. The prevalence of some chronic or degenerative diseases is not decreasing or is slightly increasing and overall mortality shifts to higher ages. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate process and timing of cardiovascular revolution in selected European countries. The objective was achieved by means of interpretation of the basic demographic methods. In the first part of this thesis were these methods calculated and presented for every single group of causes of death separately. Cardiovascular diseases were split into four more detailed subgroups in the next part of thesis and the analysis was...

Comparison of mortality trends in Central Europe and Baltic countries from 1970 to the present
Horník, Vojtěch ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (advisor) ; Burcin, Boris (referee)
Comparison of mortality trends in Central Europe and Baltic countries from 1970 to the present Abstract The aim of this thesis is to assess the most important mortality trends development in countries of Central Europe and Baltic region between 1970 and 2009. The measures used involve life expectancy at birth and life expectancy at the age of 65; besides of this, the age-specific contributions to life expectancy changes are computed according to the method of R. Pressat. The convergence and divergence tendencies among the analyzed countries and between the two regions are evaluated in this thesis as well. Main findings are, on one hand, that mortality trends are relatively similar within each of the regions. When comparing regions between each other, however, significant differences, mostly in the period between mid-1980s and mid-1990s, arise, they are attributed mostly to the influence of mortality crisis in Baltic region after the Soviet Union dissolution. Even though after 1994 mortality development was favourable in Baltic countries, they did not reach mortality level of Central Europe until 2009. Keywords: mortality, Central Europe, Baltic countries, life expectancy, decomposition, convergence, divergence

Pension insurance and demographic development in the Czech Republic Abstract The aim of this thesis is to describe the development of the pension insurance in the Czech Republic and changes in retirement age in relation to the development of life expectancy and changes in the age structure of the population of the Czech Republic. In the first part of the work, there demographic changes of the population are described and in particular, changes in the age structure of the population of the Czech Republic. The second part provides an overview of the historical development of pension insurance in the territory of today's Czech Republic, in particular the development of the most important laws, but also statistical data as well as basic concepts and characteristics of the current pension scheme. In the third part of this thesis are analyzed the changes in the age structure of the population and their relation to raising retirement age in the pension scheme of Czech Republic. Keywords: pension insurance, retirement age, the age structure of the population, life expectancy.

Development of regional differentiation of avoidable mortality in the Czech Republic
Bedřichová, Eva ; Burcin, Boris (advisor) ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (referee)
Development of regional differentiation of avoidable mortality in the Czech Republic Abstract The main goal of the thesis is the evaluation of development of avoidable mortality in the Czech Republic during 1994-2012. According to concept of avoidable mortality there are two main categories which differ among the authors in terms of selection of avoidable causes of deaths. Indicators based on category of preventable mortality show efficiency of prevention, indicators based on category of treatable mortality correspond with quality of health care and health policies. The intention is to compare an application of concept of avoidable mortality from three different aspects using three different lists of causes of avoidable deaths focusing on regional differentiation. Results of the thesis differed depending on the selection of avoidable causes of deaths and also on the selected district. Keywords: avoidable mortality, treatable mortality, preventable mortality, causes of death, regional differentiation, Czech Republic

Masná, Eliška ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (advisor) ; Kuprová, Barbora (referee)
Development of child and maternal mortality in the context of the Millennium Development Goals Abstract The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the development of the level of child and maternal mortality in Zambia and Zimbabwe and compare this development with the Millennium Development Goals. The analysis is performed by calculating infant mortality rate, under-5 mortality rate and maternal mortality ratio from DHS and then these values are compared with results of other organizations, such as the UN. The level of health care, structure of causes of deaths and historical and political situation with emphasis on the state's population are also described. Based on the resulting values we can conclude that none of the analyzed countries does meet the selected targets. The level of child and maternal mortality was improved in Zambia. On the other hand, in Zimbabwe values fluctuate and there was also an increase in the level of child mortality. Keywords: infant mortality, child mortality, maternal mortality, health care, surveys, Millennium Development Goals, MDGs, Zimbabwe, Zambia

Laušmanová, Barbora ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (advisor) ; Kurtinová, Olga (referee)
Application of demographic methods in data analysis of pension company clients at the time of the pension reform Abstract This thesis presents the analysis of structure of existing insurance portfolio and its behaviour during saving for pension at the time before pension reform and after. The dataset has been provided by pension company which is present on the Czech market. The aim of this text is to show possibilities of using demographic methods in analyses of clients which can serve for developing business goals or marketing strategies. In the theoretical part of the thesis is described pension system in the Czech Republic and its reform and it also discuss relationship between applied demography and commercial sphere. Analytical part presents results of the study by using several demographic methods. These methods showed dependence of size and structure of insurance portfolio on the demographic evolution in the Czech Republic and also differences between clients of each pension products. The use of survival analysis enabled to observe clients' behaviour during their active saving period, especially the time of saving itself. The risk of termination of saving was then constructed by Cox proportional hazard model in the dependence on demographic and geographic characteristics. For observing the intensity...

Comparative analysis of avoidable mortality in selected European countries during 1980-2010
Pražák, Michal ; Burcin, Boris (advisor) ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (referee)
The main objective of the thesis is the evaluation of the development of avoidable mortality in selected European countries during 1980-2010 with emphasis on comparison of East and West. Concept of avoidable mortality was established to measure the effectiveness of the health care system in 70s of the past century. The main results of the thesis indicate different development of avoidable mortality during 80s in both parts of Europe. Inefficient medical care and inappropriate health policy in formal Eastern Bloc contributed to divergent trends of avoidable mortality in Europe. Different trends of mortality were observed in East European countries especially during the transformation process. The importance of selection of avoidable causes and age limits was confirmed.
