The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between cognitive functioning and functional capacity in older adult users of an Iquitos 2023 health center. The study design was quantitative, nonexperimental, descriptive, correlational and prospective. The sample consisted of 100% older adult users, that is, the 300 older adults who go to the San Juan health center. The technique used was an interview and observation. A questionnaire was used after granting informed consent to older adults. The Pfeiffer questionnaire was not validated, because it is a standardized instrument and formally used by the Ministry of Health, like the Barthel index, both show high validity and intraobserver reliability with Kappa indices between 0.47 to 1. 0 and interobserver from 0.84 to 0.97. The results were that the majority of older adults were women over 70 years of age (50.7%), with a high percentage living alone (50.3%). The study revealed a close relationship between cognitive functioning and functional capacity. Regarding cognitive functioning, 52.7% had normal functioning, while 27.0% showed mild impairment, 13.0% moderate impairment, and 7.3% severe impairment. Regarding functional capacity, 40.0% enjoyed total independence, 31.7% had mild dependence, 18.3% had a moderate level of dependence, and 10.0% had severe dependence. It is concluded that there is a statistically significant relationship between the level of cognitive functioning and functional capacity in older adults at the Iquitos health center in 2023, with a value of p=0.068 for all items. This leads to the rejection of the null hypothesis and the acceptance of the proposed alternative hypothesis, indicating an association between cognitive functioning and functional capacity in this population.
