Background/aim: Mental disorders may accompany obesity.  is study aims to evaluate the association between social anxiety disorder (SAD) and obesity and the risk factors for SAD in obese female patients.  Materials and methods: A total of 114 obese patients and 110 healthy controls were included. The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI I-II), and Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) were administered to assess anxiety, depression, and social anxiety levels. Scale scores were analyzed statistically.  Results: The rate of SAD in obese female patients was found to be 8.8%. Anxiety, depression, and social anxiety levels were signi cantly higher in the obesity group compared to the control group (P < 0.05). According to linear regression analyses, a signi cant association between LSAS anxiety level and age, prior surgery, social support, history of being teased, BDI, and BAI was found.  Conclusion: The present study shows that many factors are related to obesity and SAD in obese female patients. The clinical implications of these  ndings should be considered. Interventions for these factors may help prevent SAD in obese female patients.
