Influence of the region on prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases in the Czech Republic

Original language description

The region in which people live is reflected in different aspects of human life, and health is undoubtedly the most important of them. Health has impact not only on social, economic and cultural development of human individuals, but in global perspective, the Human Development Index (HDI) considers health (expressed with the index of expected length of life) one of the fundamental conditions of development of the human society. The Czech Republic and its regions fight a lot of life-style diseases that constitute the most frequent cause of death of their inhabitants, primarily cardiovascular and oncological diseases. The goal of this paper consists in describing and evaluating the connections between the region in which the respondent lives and the amount of funds expended by the Czech citizens on prevention and therapy of cardiovascular diseases (on food supplements, sports activities, advisory services in the area of healthy life style and relaxation activities). The study was implemented under use of quantitative research strategy with the help of non-standardized questionnaire and the SF-36 standardized questionnaire. The selection set consisted of 1992 citizens of the Czech Republic and it can be considered representative from the perspective of regions, gender and age. The study results demonstrated a statistically significant connection between the amount of funds spent on food supplements, advisory services in the area of healthy life style, relaxation activities and expenses related to therapy of cardiovascular diseases and the region where the respondent lives. Statistically significant connection between the region and the amount of funds spent on sports activities was not demonstrated.
