This diploma thesis deals mainly with patients with diagnosed metabolic syndrome disease in connection with the importance of spa treatment in Mariánské Lázně. The objectives of this work are: to find the most commonly used spa method for patients with metabolic syndrome, to find out the current lifestyle of patients with metabolic syndrome and to find out whether the health condition of patients who have undergone spa treatement was improved during their spa stay. A qualitative survey method was used to achieve the objectives. Data collection was conducted through interviews of patients with metabolic syndrome and visitors to Parkhotel Golf a.s., Mariánské Lázně. I consider the increased consumption of white bread, alcohol and cigarettes in some respondents to be the fundamental findings of my research. Most respondents do not consume vegetables in sufficient quantity, and deficiencies are also evident in dedicating to sporting activities. Information about the metabolic syndrome itself or the complications of the individual components of this syndrome is sufficient. In connection with metabolic syndrome, it was found out that not all patients who underwent spa treatment want to change their lifestyle after returning from the spa facility. Considering the findings from spa patients, I would recommend to increase the education of patients with metabolic syndrome, to emohasize to them the importance of healthy nutrition, smoking abstinence, or enough movement as the basis for preventing this disease. A lecture which has been created on the basis of interview information and is part of the supplement to this work can be used as means for patients with metabolic syndrome.
