The thesis focuses on the relationships between metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors and structural and functional parameters of the left ventricle of the heart in the elderly population. The aim was to use appropriate statistical methods to assess whether and how selected metabolic and cardiovascular factors are related to structural and functional parameters of the left ventricle. The analysis was performed on data from the Elderly study, which includes clinical data on seniors in the Czech Republic. Primary and secondary hypotheses were formulated and various statistical approaches were used to test them. The results showed that the most consistent factor associated with cardiac remodelling was glycaemia level, while other variables did not show statistically significant or clinically relevant relationships. The association of higher glycemia with larger left ventricular size, higher left ventricular mass, and thickening of the left ventricular walls was confirmed. These findings support the importance of early identification of metabolic risks in the elderly population to prevent subclinical changes in cardiac structure.

Studentka prezentovala výsledky své práce a komise byla seznámena s posudky. Ing. Jakubíčková se zeptala, jak jste zacházela s odlehlými hodnotami v datasetu? Doc. Lengerová se zeptala, jak se měřily jednotlivé parametry? Bylo měření konzistentní? Neovlivnilo to variabilitu dat? Jaké bude využití Vaší analýzy? Studentka obhájila diplomovou práci a odpověděla na otázky členů komise a oponenta.
