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.
