[Schizophrenia and cardiometabolic disorders].

The aim of this review is to analyze the basic biological mechanisms of comorbidity of schizophrenia and metabolic, cardiovascular diseases, which are not directly associated with external risk factors. The study of the general pathophysiological mechanisms of schizophrenia and metabolic disorders can provide a significant basis not only for the fundamentally novel therapeutic, preventive and diagnostic measures, but also for a better understanding of the etiopathogenesis of these diseases. It seems likely that schizophrenia represents a heterogeneous group with a varying genetic basis for both mental symptoms and neuroendocrine, inflammatory processes that form concomitant somatic disorders. Thus, the new integrated approaches to the study of this problem with the latest methods of genetic and molecular research are relevant.
