Evidence shows that mental disorders among adolescents are associated with suicide, drug abuse, acute infectious diseases and low educational performances.
To determine the prevalence of depression and anxiety and their associations with body mass index (BMI) among high school students in Qazvin, Iran in 2013-2014.
A descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study using cluster-sampling method recruited 1,040 students among high schools in Qazvin, Iran from March 2013 to April 2014. Data were collected using questionnaires including demographic, Beck depression inventory and Beck anxiety inventory, and were analyzed with SPSS-19 by descriptive analyses, t-test, Chi-square and Pearson correlation.
The prevalence of depression and anxiety was 31.8% and 14.9%, respectively and these amounts were significantly higher in girls than in boys (p<0.05). Respondents showed 23.75% and 11.07% mild to moderate symptoms of depression and anxiety, respectively as well as 8.08 and 3.75% severe symptoms of depression and anxiety, respectively. There was a positive and significant association between depression and anxiety (r=0.256, p<0.001) and between depression and body mass index (BMI) (r=0.333, p<0.001), however there was an inverse association between anxiety and BMI (r=0.086, p<0.006).
The current study made a significant step forward in assessment of mental disorders and BMI to show the significance of depression and anxiety among adolescents in Qazvin. Therefore, effective interventions are necessary to improve this situation as well as the evaluation of the effectiveness of the interventions.

确定2013 - 2014年伊朗加兹温市高中生中抑郁症和焦虑症的患病率及其与体重指数（BMI）的关联。
采用整群抽样法进行描述性和分析性横断面研究，于2013年3月至2014年4月在伊朗加兹温市的高中招募了1040名学生。使用包括人口统计学、贝克抑郁量表和贝克焦虑量表在内的问卷收集数据，并通过SPSS - 19进行描述性分析、t检验、卡方检验和皮尔逊相关性分析。
抑郁症和焦虑症的患病率分别为31.8%和14.9%，且这些患病率在女孩中显著高于男孩（p<0.05）。受访者分别有23.75%和11.07%表现出轻度至中度的抑郁和焦虑症状，以及分别有8.08%和3.75%表现出重度的抑郁和焦虑症状。抑郁症与焦虑症之间存在正相关且具有显著性（r = 0.256，p<0.001），抑郁症与体重指数（BMI）之间也存在正相关（r = 0.333，p<0.001），然而焦虑症与BMI之间存在负相关（r = 0.086，p<0.006）。
本研究在精神障碍和BMI评估方面向前迈出了重要一步，以显示加兹温市青少年中抑郁症和焦虑症的重要性。因此，需要有效的干预措施来改善这种状况以及对干预措施的有效性进行评估。
