Impact of physical (in)activity on Health among Ageing population - analysis of the SHARE study
Csurillová, Michaela ; Lustigová, Michala (advisor) ; Žejglicová, Kristýna (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the influence of physical (in) activity on the health of an aging population using the data of the SHARE study. The first aim of the work was to find out which sociodemographic factors and health and lifestyle factors are related to the level of physical activity. Age and subjective health were found to be the most important factors related to the level of physical activity in the aging population. Another goal was to determine whether there is a relationship between the incidence of selected diseases (myocardial infarction, stroke, diabetes mellitus) and the level of physical activity. It has been shown that regular physical activity at least once a week reduces the risk of incidence of these diseases in an aging population. In the case of diabetes mellitus, even any physical activity reduces the risk of incidence of this disease. Key words: physical activity, health, ageing, SHARE data

Social Factors and Activities Affecting Cognitive Aging: Analysis of the SHARE Study
Líbal, Miroslav ; Lustigová, Michala (advisor) ; Hnilicová, Helena (referee)
The main concern of this thesis is the influence of social factors and activities on cognitive aging. Using data from the SHARE study, it explaines the status of individuals in the 7th wave of the survey, identified as suffering from severe cognitive impairment, and consequently, those in maximum cognitive fitness using social factors and activities that were constructed based on previous waves of the survey. The main finding is the positive influence of emotional proximity to members of their own social network on cognitive aging. The aim was also to use the paradigm of salutogenesis and try to find differences between the studied groups. Activities that do not in themselves act as protective factors of dementia, but only as cognitive health enhancing factors were found. Keywords: cognitive function, cognitive aging, dementia, epidemiology, SHARE study, lifestyle, salutogenesis
