Selected determinants of population health and their impact on mortality in European countries
Straka, Jakub ; Šídlo, Luděk (advisor) ; Kulhánová, Ivana (referee)
Selected determinants of population health and their impact on mortality in European countries Abstract The thesis focuses on the relationship of lifestyle determinants of men and women in selected European countries in 2014 with their subjective (healthy life years) and objective level of mortality (life expectancy) and their mortality rates to the most common causes. These are ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular diseases and malignant neoplasm of the trachea, bronchus and lung. Selected determinants of health were physical activity, BMI, fruit and vegetable consumption, smoking and alcohol consumption. The indicator life expectancy in health is most often related to the exact age of 65 years, and therefore this work also focuses on the elderly population. Multiple linear regression was used to examine the effect of selected health determinants on mortality levels. In addition, the thesis explores the development and intensity of life expectancy in the health of men and women in the period 2004-2014. Finally, it addresses whether the European population between the first decade of the 21st century and 2014 saw an increase in healthy life years. The initial source of data is the EHIS and EU-SILC. Due to the chosen methods, it was found that the length of life in health rather stagnated, which is...

healthy life years
Ondrák, Jan ; Langhamrová, Jitka (advisor) ; Krbcová, Daniela (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with life expectancy, healthy life years analysis in selected countries. The begining of this thesis is devoted to explanation of individual concepts, which are used in in this thesys, later it aids on healthy life years indicator and its calculation methods, meaning and usi in practice. It ges on with hypotheses verifying or returning influence of natural, demographic, biological, socio-economic phenomena on healthy life years in selected countries. These countries are: Bulgaria, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Ireland, Portugal, Slovenia, Finland, Island, Norway. Comparsion was made from the point of view of the EU 27/28 average, individual type sof disability were also evaluated.

Healthy Life Years
Faltysová, Kateřina ; Vrabcová, Jana (advisor) ; Růžková, Jiřina (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to clarify the concept of Healthy Life Years. This concept is based on summary measures of population health which are able to quantify health. However, the main goal of the thesis is to discover which morbidity scenarios fit the selected countries. The thesis contains analysis of Life Expectancy and Healthy Life Years conducted by the time indexes for newborns and population aged 65 in the Czech Republic. The results of this fit the morbidity compression theory. This analysis is also done for Estonia and Luxemburg, which are representing the best and the worst countries in 28 countries of European Union in Healthy Life Years. Both of these countries fit to the morbidity expansion theory. Moreover, these countries are compared by Better Life Index, which is initiated by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, which determines that health of the population is influenced by more dimensions of life.

Healthy life expectancy
Bobeková, Simona ; Langhamrová, Jitka (advisor) ; Cséfalvaiová, Kornélia (referee)
The thesis is intented to explain the concept of healthy life expectancy and the analysis of this indicator. In the first chapter, there is focus on clarification of terms needed to understand the meaning of the healthy life expectancy and the methods of calculating this indicator. In the second chapter, there is attention is paid to development of healthy life expectancy in the Czech Republic and selected European countries. The aim of this work is also to compare healthy life expectancy to life expectancy and to compare differences in results between males and females. By constructing graphs and tables, conclusion of the work is that healthy life expectancy and life expectancy are extending, women in Czech Republic have both of these expectancies longer than men, but there are only small differences between healthy life years of men and women.

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.

Development of Life Expectancy in Czech Republic in 1960-2008
Langhamrová, Jana ; Arltová, Markéta (advisor) ; Löster, Tomáš (referee)
The goal of this elaboration is to point out changes in mortality that were responsible for longer life expectancy and lower infant mortality. The trend of basic indicators that contributed to changes in mortality was assessed based on the time series data available on the website of Czech Statistical Office. The life expectancy paradox and the necessary level of birth rate and life expectancy to maintain level of simple reproduction was calculated based on the trend of life expectancy in selected age groups of men and women, infant mortality coefficient and actual birth rate in the Czech Republic during 1920-2008. The elaboration describes in detail the indicators and methods of calculating mortality and pays special attention to life tables and possible ways of flattening mortality rate curves. It also compares life expectancy and healthy life years in the Czech Republic and European countries and describes the term of healthy life years and the most common way of their calculation. In all monitored countries, women's expectation of life at birth is longer than that of men. In the Czech Republic, the difference is now about six years. Life expectancy in all countries keeps going up, with the exception of e.g. the countries of the former Soviet Union where life expectancy has been fluctuating for the past 20 years. Individual countries are compared based on data from the Eurostat database and Human Mortality Database. The annex shows methods of calculating life tables and possible ways of flattening mortality rate curves and provides an overview of the most common models of flattening and extrapolating mortality rate curves. The elaboration also has an index of used terms and a Czech-English vocabulary.
