Method: The sample comprises of 79 joint families (N=316 members, n=79 grandparents (grandfathers=27, grandmothers=52) n=158 parents (fathers=79, mothers=79), and n=79 grandchildren (girls=61, boys=18)). Data were collected on Self-Report Family Inventory, SFI, Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II, HPLP-II, and World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale BREF WHO QOL BREF. All three variables, i.e., family functioning, health-promoting behaviors, and quality of life, were modeled as latent variables. Analyses were conducted separately for each group. Results: Results showed that in grandparents, family functioning predicted (β=.44, p<.01,) health-promoting behaviors (R 2=.20), which in turn predicted (β=.26, p<.05) quality of life (R 2=.85). Family functioning appears to have significant indirect effects (β=.34, p<.01) through health-promoting behaviors on quality of life. The model fit indices showed a good fit (IFI=.917, CFI=.910, RMSEA=.078) of the model of the data. For all other groups, i.e., fathers, mothers, and grandchildren, family functioning and health-promoting behaviors independently predicted quality of life (R 2=.55, .67, and .54, respectively). Conclusion: Our results showed that family functioning and health-promoting behaviors are consistent predictors of quality of life across generations.
