Family relationships signify an important aspect of social support in pre-adolescence and early adolescence; the study objective was to determine the familiar functionality and its relationship with the affective dimensions of the lifestyles in adolescents enrolled in schools living in the urban area of the municipality of Villamaría (Caldas-Colombia). A cross-sectional descriptive correlational analysis with 809 students from public and private institutions was designed, using the familiar APGAR adjusted for Colombian schoolchildren and the instrument FANTÁSTICO, Chilean version adapted for the study of this population. The results showed 22.2 percent of family dysfunction, from moderate to severe in adolescent participants; significant differences were found between age, sex with family functioning (p = 0.003; p = 0.001 respectively) and a statistically significant association between family functioning and emotional dimensions of lifestyle was also found (p <0.05). The results show that in adolescence the family functioning is directly related to the score of the affective dimensions of the lifestyles of adolescents.

Keywords : family relationship; adolescents; lifestyle; health promotion; APGAR.
