Sumario:This study aimed to verify the contribution of the variables regarding the relations in familiar, friendship and school contexts in predicting the perceptions of well-being, health and body image of adolescents. Participants are 3.396 adolescents from the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre. The instruments used were the Health Behavior in Schoolchildren, the Positive and Negative Affects Scale, the General Health Questionnaire and the Brief Multidimensional Student Life Satisfaction Scale. Using structural equation modeling, the results present an adequate model to explain the well-being, the health and the body image. The coefficients obtained indicate that family, friends and school relationships positively influence the development of adolescents.
