| description | Background and purpose: Behavioral disorders in children will provide a basis for mental disorders in adulthood. Various studies reported different results on the prevalence of behavioral disorders in children, so, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed at determining the prevalence of these disorders in Iranian children.

Reference lists of articles identified were reviewed for additional articles. Heterogeneity between the studies was checked using index. Data were analyzed using the Comprehensive Meta-analysis (CMA) software.
Results: The overall prevalence of behavioral disorders was 23% (95% Cl 15.1%-33.5%) in Iranian children. The highest and lowest rates of behavioral disorders in children were recorded in Hamedan (54.7% [95% Cl: 49.8%-56.9%]) and Ardebil (1.8% [95% Cl: 0.9%-3.7%]), respectively. According to the meta-regression diagram, the prevalence of behavioral disorders in Iranian Children decreased with an increase in the sample size and increased by the year (time) (p<0.05).
