Background: The early identification of emotional and psychological problems during adolescence seems helpful
to improve academic performance (AP). However, the association between risk of depression and AP, as well as
the role of health-related factors in this association remain to be elucidated. Therefore, the aims of this study
were to analyze the association between risk of depression and AP in adolescents; to examine this association
according to weight status; and to test the mediating role of weight status in this association.
Methods: A sample of 265 adolescents (125 girls) aged 13.9 ± 0.3 years old from the DADOS (Deporte, ADOlescencia y Salud) study was included in the analyses. Risk of depression was self-reported through the Behavior
Assessment System for Children and Adolescents. AP was assessed through academic grades and the Spanish
version of the Science Research Associates Test of Educational Ability. Weight status was assessed by body mass
index (BMI) (kg/m2
) and dichotomized according to the international age- and sex-specific BMI cut-offs (nonoverweight vs. overweight).
Results: Linear regression analyses showed an inverse association between risk of depression and academic grades
(all p<0.05). Further linear regressions analyzing risk of depression and AP (dependent variable) stratified by
weight status showed stronger associations among overweight adolescents. Additionally, mediation analyses
revealed that weight status acted as a mediator of this association.
Limitations: The cross-sectional design prevents from interfering causal relationships.
Conclusions: Educational institutions should promote the early identification of depression as well as the promotion of healthy weight status as strategies to enhance AP in adolescents. [-]
