INTERNAL DISEASES: THE TIME OF GLOBAL SOMATIC RISK

This manuscript revises the problem of risk factors in somatic diseases. Singular risk factor and combina-tion of risk factors are important and significantly affect the prognosis, the course, and outcomes of the dis-ease. Today many global indexes have been introduced to assess the impact of risk factors, such as total car-diovascular risk in arterial hypertension, global cardiovascular risk in heart disease and diabetes mellitus, and global somatic risk in somatic diseases. Global somatic risk is based and generalized from total cardio-vascular risk in arterial hypertension.
