Introduction: The Tinetti scale is one of the most widely used instruments to evaluate balance and gait in older adults. Although there are reports of its validity in other countries, it has not been formally validated for the older Peruvian population. Objective: To evaluate the validity and reliability of the Tinetti scale for the evaluation of balance and gait in older adults. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Tinetti scale for the evaluation of balance and gait in older adults. Methods: Instrumental study that included 170 older adults with independent walking or with biomechanical aids, capable of understanding simple commands in Lima and Apurímac. Comprehension of the scale was evaluated through content validity by the judgment of 12 experts. Construct validity was evaluated with a CFA. Tinetti's original model and two modified versions were compared according to their goodness-of-fit indicators. Reliability was evaluated by internal consistency with Cronbach's Alpha, Ordinal Alpha, and McDonald's Omega indices. Results: The 12 experts confirmed a good understanding of the scale with 0.88 in the Content Validity Index. The results reflected that the modified scale (model 3) provides better indicators of goodness of fit compared to the original version. The new model has greater reliability according to Cronbach's Alpha of 0.69, Ordinal Alpha of 0.87 and McDonald's Omega of 0.73. Conclusions: Tinetti reports acceptable construct validity. A shorter version was adapted to be used in the Peruvian context with better validity and reliability indices.
