The purpose of this research is to determine the relationship between lifestyle and self-concept dimensions in adolescents between 12 and 18 years old, of the Águeda Gallardo de Villamizar school in the city of Pamplona, through a quantitative study, suggesting strategies for psychoeducational intervention in the adolescence stage. In order to fulfill the objective set, a sample of 232 adolescents was approached, of which 117 belong to early adolescence (12-14 years) and 114 to middle adolescence (15-18 years). To which two psychological measurement instruments were applied: The Test to Measure Self-Concept in Adolescents and the Fantastic Questionnaire, in order to collect the information that was subsequently analyzed through the statistical program SPSS version 25.0. According to the above, it was found as a result of the present study that there is a significantly strong relationship between these two study variables in the adolescent stage (self-concept and lifestyle), it should be mentioned that the correlation that was found is characterized by being positive, that is, as the level of self-concept increases, the lifestyle of the participants will be healthier and vice versa. To determine this relationship, Pearson's correlation coefficient was taken into account for the process carried out in this study, a value of r = 0.652 was obtained. Similarly, it was obtained that the majority of adolescents 44.4%, present a medium level in the general self-concept, that is to say that they have a favorable overview of themselves, However, it is important to rescue that in this study 2 of each 5 adolescents have a low level of self-concept and 40.56% have an unhealthy lifestyle and another 25.86% have an adequate level of lifestyle, which means they must continue to improve. Which leads to consider an intervention proposal in order to improve the way in which the adolescents of this school perceive themselves.
