Objective To systematically review the association between chronotype and depressive symptoms among adolescents. Methods CNKI, VIP, WanFang Data, PubMed, ScienceDirect and Web of Science databases were electronically searched to collect studies on the association between adolescent chronotype and depressive symptoms from inception to January 17th, 2022. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using Stata 16.0 software. Results A total of 12 studies were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that there was an association between chronotype and depressive symptoms (Fisher’s Z=−0.19, 95%CI −0.21 to −0.17, P<0.001). Conclusion Current evidence shows that evening-type chronotype may be a risk factor for depressive symptoms among adolescents. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
