Fasting blood samples were collected to detect vitamin D levels. The <i>Chi</i>-square test and multiple Logistic regression model were used to analyze the association of vitamin D deficiency with anxiety and depressive symptoms and their comorbidity among middle school students.</sec><sec>  <b>Results</b>  The detection rates of anxiety, depressive, and thier comorbidities in middle school students were 33.0%, 21.5% and 16.3%, respectively. After adjusting for confounding factors, vitamin D deficiency was positively associated with the risk of anxiety symptoms (<i>OR</i>=1.59, 95%<i>CI</i>=1.02-2.46), depressive symptoms (<i>OR</i>=1.94, 95%<i>CI</i>=1.22-3.09) and anxiety-depressive co-morbid symptoms (<i>OR</i>=1.75, 95%<i>CI</i>=1.06-2.90) in secondary school students (<i>P</i> < 0.05).</sec><sec>  <b>Conclusion</b>  Vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased risk of anxiety, depressive and their co-morbidity symptoms in middle school students, and the directionality of the association should be further studied.</sec><p />  <p>Language: zh</p>
