Abstract

The processes of population ageing are of major importance in the present-day social and economic research. Regarding the elderly population and its specific needs, the concept of active and healthy ageing as a comprehensive strategy has gained large attention. In this paper we focused on the current health status of the 65+ population, applying the data on self-rated health of the seniors living in the city of Brno. We analysed the level of self-rated health and identified its geographical conditionality within the whole Czech elderly population as well. Additionally, we identified key social and environmental factors underlying the reported self-rated health status, using a set of demographic, socioeconomic and senior housing condition variables.
