Development of age structure, indicators of demographic ageing and main causes of death is analyzed more in detail for five European states, Sweden, France, Italy, Czech Republic and Latvia. Second aim of this thesis is to describe differences of health status in Europe using descriptive statistics and cluster analysis. In this part of the thesis the differences among European states are evaluated using: health expectancy by self- perceived health, health expectancy by chronic morbidity and health expectancy based on disability. All variables are analyzed at age 65 and more and 80 and more.
