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.

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.

KOUBKOVÁ, Magda
The eating disorders rank among serious diseases which especially teenage girls and young women suffer. The International Classification of Diseases differentiates a number of eating disorders; anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are the most frequent and as well the most dangerous of them. The aim of this dissertation was to establish the presence of some risk attitude, which we encounter with the eating disorders, and to monitor body weight control methods within the secondary school female student population. The dissertation verified the hypotheses concerning the difference between secondary grammar school female students and other secondary school female students. The secondary grammar school female students were slimmer than the secondary school and trade school female students. The secondary school and trade school female students wished to lose weight more often than the secondary grammar school female students and they kept diets more often as well. And further the dissertation verified the hypothesis concerning the dissatisfaction with one{\crq}s own body which increases related to the body weight. The questionnaire research was applied to verified hypothesis.

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.

Social relation problems of patients with anorexia nervosa
POSPÍCHALOVÁ, Štěpánka
Purpose of this work was to describe situation in social interaction of people with anorexia nervosa. I dealt with personal diaries of a patient who had anorexia nervosa and deeply examined one of the diaries. Personal thoughts desribed in diaries were analysed and resulted in picture of social interaction of the person. I also inteviewed father and mother who desribed retrospectively friends of the girl and relations between family members. Comparing these three sources I came up with answer on the basic research question: How patiens with anorexia nervosa make social relations. By doing this the objective of the work was accomplished. Results were summed up in 8 points. Each point clearly describes relation problem of the patient. Findings were compared to literature. The end of the work is devoted to the problem of eating disorders generally. Patient is a copybook example of anorexia nervosa. Her social interaction is complicated or even does not exist at all. Family relations are disturbed, the girl is looking for contacts outside family but these are unstable and short term only. Better results would be accomplished if sample of objects was bigger than only one patient. Following qualitative research there could be quantitative research which would show how interaction is problematic for patients with anorexia nervosa. Based on the results of my work larger interest should be dedicated to ties of patients with outside population.
