The purpose of this study is to determine the type of somatic pathology which appears in schizophrenic spectrum psychosis, in a sample of subjects admitted in the Psychiatric Clinic in Timisoara in the year 2008.

The sample studied contained 158 patients (105 with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, 46 with schizoaffective disorder and 7 with acute and transitory psychotic disorder) who were admitted in the year 2008. This sample was evaluated from a clinical (PANSS), global functioning (GAF) and somatic co morbidities perspective.

High incidence presented cardiovascular pathology (8,86%), digestive pathology (7,59%) and respiratory pathology (3,79). Obesity was present in 6,32% of the subjects. There was a category of subjects who presented various types of somatic comorbidities (8,22%).
