The Detection Rates of Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms Among Overweight/Obese Children and Adolescents Aged 6-24 Years:A Meta-analysis
Objective To evaluate the detection rates of depressive and anxiety symptoms among over-weight/obese children and adolescents aged 6-24 years.Methods CNKI,WanFang,VIP,CBM and PubMed databases were systematically searched to collect studies on the detection rate of depression and anxiety among overweight/obese children and adolescents.The retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to De-cember 2022.After literature screening,data extraction and the risk of bias were evaluated independently by two researchers,Meta-analysis was performed by using Stata 14.0 software.Results It showed that the overall detection rates of depression and anxiety symptoms were 21%(95%CI:17%-25%,I2=95.8%)and 20%(95%CI:13%-27%,I2=96.7%),respectively,among overweight/obese children and adolescents.Overweight/obese children and adolescents were more likely to have depressive symptoms(OR=1.62,95%CI:1.25-2.10,P<0.05)and anxiety symptoms(OR=2.13,95%CI:1.11-4.10,P<0.05)than non-overweight/non-obese children and ado-lescents.Conclusion Depressive and anxiety symptoms were common among overweight/obese children and adolescents,and overweight/obese children and adolescents had a higher risk of depression and anxiety symp-toms.To reduce the risk of depression and anxiety symptoms,regular screening and effective interventions should be conducted.
