Results: Mean age of obesity and control group was 22.6±3.5 and 22.4±2.7 mean body mass index (BMI) of obesity and control group was 35.7±2.3 kg/mÇ and 23±2.5 kg/mÇ respectively. Mean score of ZDS was 51±10 in obesity group and 45±10 in control group. The difference between two group was statistically significiant (p<0.01).There was a significiant correlation (r:0.225,T:0.005) between ZDS and BMI in all subjects.
