Abstract：To explore the status and distribution of depression disorder among Uyghur college students,and analysis the relationship between Uyghur college students’ depression status and contents of trace elements in hair. Methods 278 Uyghur college students between 18~26-year old were selected for examination of depression status by SDS（Self-Depression-Scale）check list and for determination of the contents of calcium,magnesium,zinc and copper in hair by the flame atomic absorption spectroscopy ( AAS). Results The standardized score of depression disorder in female Uyghur college students was significantly higher than male（P<0.01）,and the score of the medical specialty was also significantly higher than the non-medical specialty（P<0.01）. The contents of calcium,magnesium and zinc in Uyghur female college students’ were significantly lower than males’ （P<0.01）,the contents of copper in hair was higher than male（P<0.01）.The contents of calcium,zinc and magnesium in hair of depression group were significantly lower than the non-depression group.The correlative analysis on the relationship between depression status and those of 4 elements contents showed that the correlative coefficients were -0.49 for calcium,-0.38 for magnesium,-0.31 for zinc（P<0.01）,0.007 for copper（P>0.05）.Conclusion The Uyghur college students’ depression status is negatively correlated with the contents of calcium, zinc and magnesium in their hair, and no any linear correlation are found between the depression disorder and contents of copper in their hair.
