title: [Associated family factors with nutrition and oral health in adolescents].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  to evaluate the association of family factors with malnutrition and oral condition in adolescence.
  
  
  METHODS
  a cross-sectional study of 456 adolescents was carried out to examine associations between family factors and risk for overweight or overweight (ROoO), risk for short stature or short stature (RSSoSS), and a DMFT (decayed, filled and missing-teeth) index > or = 8.
  
  
  RESULTS
  the risk factors for ROoO were maternal educational level of high school or above (OR = 1.9, IC 95 % = 1.16-3.14) and having less than two siblings (OR = 1.6, IC 95 % = 1.13-2.34). Age > 15 years is associated with a DMFT index > or = 8 (OR = 1.9, IC 95 % = 1.14-2.34).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  a higher maternal educational level and having one or no siblings were ROoO risks. Increased age was a risk factor for caries.
