The objective of this work was to carry out a Confirmatory Factorial Analysis of the Scale of Wellbeing and Specific Autonomy for Older Adults in two Mexican samples, which allowed to establish the validity of the measured construct. A quantitative, transversal design with explanatory scopes was used. An incidental sample of 895 aging adults was obtained, from which 59.8% were inhabitants of the Saltillo city, Coahuila, Mexico, and 40.2%, of Tizimín city, Yucatán, Mexico. We used the Short SelfAssessment of Wellbeing and Autonomy for Older Adults. The Exploratory, Parallel and Confirmatory Factor Analysis was processed with the Generalized Least Squares Method, in addition to obtaining the reliability and descriptive statistics of dimensions. The identified structure showed adequate statistical adjustment indicators. Initially, the structure considered two dimensions: autonomy and wellbeing; however, the results showed the separation in three dimensions of the wellbeing measurement.
