The objective of this study was to determine the association between basic and instrumental functional capacity and quality of life in elderly and disabled adults in a Lima 2021 Health Center. A quantitative, correlational and cross-sectional study was carried out in a sample of 150 participants, elderly and disabled, who were selected through a census sampling. Three instruments were applied to them to measure the study variables. Barthel scale to measure the Basic Functional Capacity variable, Lawton and Brody scale to measure the Instrumental Functional Capacity variable and the FUMAT Scale to measure Quality of Life. Among the results, it was found that 49% of the participants indicated being independent in basic functional capacity, 40% indicated independence in instrumental functional capacity and 52% indicated having a high level of quality of life. It was also possible to demonstrate that there is a direct correlation between the study variables through Spearman's Rho coefficient, which resulted in 0.803. Finally, the study concludes that there is a relationship between Basic and Instrumental Functional Capacity and Quality of Life.
