Summary
The goal of this overview paper is to offer the international (European) evidence in the field of chronic diseases condition. Chronic conditions counting more that 60 % of all deaths worldwide and about 90 % of all deaths in the Czech Republic. Population development in developed countries is characterized by increasing live expectancy and by growing population in higher age groups namely in age more that 65 years. In the same time the population faced the consequences of unhealthy live style like eating’s habit or physical inactivity. Thanks these factors as well as thanks increasing expectations and available medical technologies the costs of chronic conditions are increasing. More attention is currently paid to the integrated management of chronic condition based on self-management, use of ITC as well as use family support and community based approach.
Key words:
chronic diseases – health system – international comparison management
