Background/aim:  Mental disorders may accompany obesity. This 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 significantly  higher in the obesity group compared to the control group (P &lt; 0.05). According to linear regression analyses, a significant 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 findings should be considered. Interventions for these factors may help prevent SAD in obese female patients.
