Long term development of life expectancy in the world
Jílková, Martina ; Novotný, Josef (advisor) ; Pospíšilová, Lucie (referee)
Life expectancy has been rising since the end of the 18th century. This thesis aims to characterize its long term development with emphasis on the period after 1800, whereas the beginning periods of sustained growth and its dynamics are represented. Gains in survival began successively in individual countries, and it was found that the later the growth began, the more rapid it was. The determinants of mortality decline are set and described, as well. The attention is paid also to the relation between life expectancy and economic level. The analysis proved strong dependence of life expectancy on income in the course of the 20th century. Finally, the exceptions to this trend are discussed.

The concept of 'cancer transition' in selected European countries
Naxera, Martin ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (advisor) ; Kulhánová, Ivana (referee)
The concept of 'cancer transition' in selected European countries Abstract This paper examines the concept(s) of 'cancer transition' which consists of interpretation of the cancer epidemiology development dynamics. The conceptualizations by various important authors are compared. Comparation is also made between them and the concepts of epidemiologic and health transition. The concepts of 'cancer transition' are then given the context of selected characteristics of the cancer epidemiology. The concepts are additionally illustrated by visualization of the age-standardized mortality and incidence rates in selected European countries - Czechia, Ireland, Norway and Malta in the 1960-2017 period. Keywords: cancer transition, epidemiologic transition, cancer, mortality
