Duševní zdraví, subjektivní zdravotní stav a osobní blahobyt ve vybraných okresech v České republice
Mental health, subjective health status and personal wellbeing in selected districts of the Czech Republic

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the mental health of the adult population in selected districts of the Czech Republic with the highest degree of health inequality. It also aims to address the links between the subjective well-being and mental health of the population. The mental health of the population was determined via the conducting of a questionnaire survey involving a total of 509 respondents from districts that had previously been identified as having the highest levels of health inequality (Hodonín, Chomutov, Karviná, Louny, Most, Teplice and Znojmo). One third of the respondents reported having experienced mental illness at least once in their lives. Single and married men, as well as married women were found to be less likely to report being lonely or isolated. In relation to Covid-19, the respondents reported a higher level of concern for the health of loved ones (82%) than for their own health (55%). Women were more likely to have concerns about the health of their loved ones than men. In the Chomutov district, 70% of the adult population judged their subjective health status as good to excellent, whereas in the Karviná district only 61% of the adult population responded in this way. Relationships were statistically proven between the variables 'loneliness'/'isolation' and the variable 'satisfaction with life'.
