In order to identify the ethnic and age and sex characteristics of psychosomatic disorders in schoolchildren living in the southern (Abakan) and central (Krasnoyarsk) Siberian regions, surveyed 1564 students aged 12-17 (boys and girls), of which 331 Khakass people and 1233 - Russian nationality. Comparative analysis of the figures obtained by the survey, carried out by age, gender and ethnicity. It was established that syncope, asthenic syndrome and panic disorder is much more common in Russian students compared to the Khakas. At the same time, all kinds of psychosomatic disorders are recorded more often in Russian girls than Khakass; boys no significant differences according to ethnicity have been identified. Among the pupils of Russian nationality all clinical variants of psychosomatic disorders were significantly more common in girls than in boys, and usually in the older age group (15-17 years) than in younger (12-14 years). The manifestations of panic attacks in the past history of 3/4 of the surveyed were associated with the presence of autonomic dysfunction syndrome, and more - sympathicotonic type.
