“…The difference in the prevalence might be explained in that the undergraduate university students who have just stepped into practical more challenging world encounter more practical problems than other adolescents. In the neighboring countries like India, the age-adjusted prevalence of anxiety among rural adolescents was 16.6%, which is much lower than that of the current study [33]. In another study, conducted upon school adolescents in Delhi, the prevalence of anxiety was 65.3%, which is much higher than that of the present study [34].…”

Background Anxiety disorder is one of the emerging public health problems in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Likewise, in Bangladesh, a growing number of adolescents are experiencing such symptoms though we have very limited research evidence available. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of anxiety and the factors associated with this condition among urban, semi-urban, and rural school adolescents in Bangladesh. Methods This cross-sectional study used a two-stage cluster sampling procedure. A self-administered questionnaire was conveyed to 2355 adolescents from nine secondary schools of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Of the respondents, 2313 completed the seven-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7). Besides, sociodemographic information, self-reported body image as well as modification of Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire (LTEQ) and WHO Global PA Questionnaire (GPAQ) were used to determine the sociodemographic and lifestyle factors associated with anxiety among adolescents. Results A total of 20.1% of adolescents were experiencing moderate to severe anxiety; of them, a significantly higher proportion (49.9%) of female adolescents were suffering more than males (40.1%). Furthermore, age, student’s grade, father’s educational level, number of family members, and residential setting were found to be significantly associated with anxiety among adolescents. In terms of lifestyle factors, irregular physical activity (AOR: 1.31; 95% CI: 1.05–1.63), high screen time (AOR: 1.51; 95% CI:1.21–1.88), sleep dissatisfaction (AOR: 3.79; 95% CI: 3.02–4.76), and underweight body image (AOR: 2.37; 95% CI:1.70–3.28) were found to be significantly associated with anxiety among school adolescents of urban, semi-urban, and rural residential settings. Conclusions Anxiety is prevalent among urban, semi-urban, and rural school adolescents in Dhaka, Bangladesh. To lessen this prevalence of anxiety among Bangladeshi adolescents, evidence-based health programs- healthy school trials—and policies should therefore be taken based on the findings of this study.

“…No Canadá foi observado um aumento na prevalência anual de distúrbios de humor e de ansiedade entre os jovens e essas tendências foram mais evidentes para mulheres (Wiens et al, 2020). O sexo feminino está associado a transtorno de ansiedade e as meninas apresentam maiores chances para desenvolvê-lo em comparação aos meninos (Madasu et al, 2019;Orellana et al, 2020).…”

“…Anxiety and depression are more common among adolescents (Seipp, 1991;Ferrari et al, 2013;Ingul and Nordahl, 2013;Chen et al, 2020;Guessoum et al, 2020;Chen et al, 2021;Yang, 2021). Many research studies have shown that the prevalence of anxiety and depression is higher in women than in men (Madasu et al, 2019;Yang, 2021). For example, in 2018, the global prevalence of major depression for 12 months was 5.8% for women and 3.5% for men (Ferrari et al, 2013).…”

Also, gender and age are significantly related to anxiety and depression symptoms (Madasu et al, 2019;Yang, 2021). Female adolescents exhibit a higher risk of anxiety and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic and older adolescents are more depressed than younger adolescents (Chen et al, 2020(Chen et al, , 2021.…”

This mixed-methods study examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on 1493 Grades 7, 8, and 9 students’ self-perceived emotional states in Wuhan, China when it was locked down for the pandemic on January 23, 2020 and when the lockdown was lifted on April 8, 2020, as well as the changes of their emotional states over the 1-year period after the lockdown was lifted. A five-point Likert scale survey was administered to the participants between March 1 and April 1, 2020 when Wuhan was blocked down; and three focus group interviews were conducted between May 1 and May 31, 2021, 1 year after the lockdown was lifted. The results showed that these students in Wuhan experienced feelings of loss of control and negative emotions when the city was locked down and they were home quarantined; furthermore, there were significant differences for their self-perceived feelings of loss of control and negative emotions across demographic variables of gender, grade level, physical activity, social economic status, and family cohesion; finally, their emotional states changed substantially at different time nodes during this pandemic. Implications for students, parents, and schools are discussed.
