During 5 years we have registered mortality in 1239 chronic hospitalized psychiatric patients (609 men and 630 women) aged between 40-70 years in 6 German hospitals. We examined this patients on incidence of cardial riskfactors. The death rates were compared to the others of BRD. In this connection we found out an intensified mortality in all age groups of psychiatric patients as against to BRD average. The mortality of respiratory system diseases surpassed death rates of BRD many times better. Also psychiatric patients died by cardiovascular diseases more than expected. The death rates from ischaemic heart diseases in men were approximately twice as much than at BRD statistic. Patients who died in arteriosclerotic diseases had more often riskfactors than the other deceased. The great number of sudden and unexpected deaths was remarkable.
