Adolescence is characterized by a period of many discoveries, crises and conflicts, in this phase young people are going through a period of continuous and profound transformations at the psychological, physical and social level. As a result, many adolescents have developed problems related to mental illness, mainly anxiety and depression. In this sense, it is essential to understand how the chronotype, the level of physical activity, physical fitness and quality of sleep, may be influencing the prevalence of depression and anxiety. Objective: To verify the association of chronotype, cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition and sleep quality with anxiety and depression symptoms in adolescents. Materials and Methods: 92 adolescents participated in the study, 35 male and 57 female, from a full-time school participated in the study, students were submitted to body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness assessment, they also answered the questionnaires (International Physical Activity Level Questionnaire; Childhood Depression Inventory; Multidimensional Scale of Anxiety for Children; Chronotype Identification Questionnaire; Sleep Quality Questionnaire). Results: There is an association between anxiety symptoms and sleep quality when assessing the total sample and when assessing it by gender. In the total sample and in the female gender, an association was observed between symptoms of depression and chronotype. And there was an association between symptoms of depression and sleep when evaluating the sample separated by sex. Regarding physical activity, the activity time for commuting in the week has a negative relationship with anxiety and depression symptoms in the total sample. And in the male gender there was a negative relationship between symptoms of depression and vigorous activity minutes in the week. In addition to the associations, we identified that girls are 3.18 times more likely to have depression and 8.66 times more likely to have anxiety than boys. Among those with depression, poor sleep, high body fat and the presence of anxiety symptoms are the most likely to have depression. In relation to those with anxiety, only subjects with depression are 3.34 times more likely to have anxiety. Conclusion: Thus, we conclude that poor sleep, obesity and low levels of VO2max are important variables that can lead to anxiety and depression in adolescents.
