Objective. In our study, we wanted to identify the number of existing deformities of the spine and posture in primary schoolers. Methods. The sample consisted of 311 healthy pupils aged 6-7. We used Klein, Thomas, and Mayer method to evaluate the posture. The spine curvature was evaluated by plumb line. Muscle imbalance was evaluated by standardized manual tests by Professor Janda. The results were evaluated by the basic population abundance and the use of the ANOVA program. We determined the level of statistical significance at p = 0.05. Results. The statistically significant occurrence of poor posture was found. Poor posture occurred in more than 50% of the pupils studied. Spine deformities in the sagittal plane have exceeded 30% (C = 37.94212%; Th = 32.15434%; L = 30.22508%). In the frontal plane deformities were present in 13.18328% of pupils. Spinae and postural disorders were accompanied by the muscle imbalance (muscle stiffness and weakness). Conclusion. Screening is a well-founded technique for the early detection of spinae and posture disorders. Based on the results of screening, professionals can take preventive measures. As in our research prevalence of spine deformities and poor posture in children was high, we recommend regular screening in clinical practice.

Conclusions: Thanks to cooperation with key stakeholders and payers and additional verification with MoH, we were able to establish important base for the indirect costs associated with depression. Indirect costsas additional state payer costsshould play important role in complex evaluations of existing and new technologies coming to the segment of the depression treatment.

Insurance Company (V seobecná zdravotná pois tovna, V sZP). We used the "bottomup" approach that helped us identify, quantify and value resources in a disaggregated way, so that each element of the cost was estimated individually and they were summed up at the end, similarly to our first research conducted previously. We calculated real direct costs for the model patient with MM from the diagnosis to death. Results: Based on internal cost resources provided upon request from V sZP, we identified real direct costs associated with MM from the diagnosis till death (% from total direct costs,
