Summary:Quality of life is a relevant aspect of people's lives, even more so when high comorbidities are present in the general population, so its valid and reliable measurement is necessary. Objective: To determine the psychometric properties of the Instrument for the Evaluation of Functionality in the Treatment of Chronic Diseases (FACT-GP) in the general Mexican population. Method: A cross-sectional design was used, with a non-probabilistic sampling, based on availability. Statistical analysis: A confirmatory factorial model was performed. Results: 254 participants with M = 23.5 years (21-32) were included. Four factors with 18 reagents were identified. The internal consistency of the global scale was 0.81, which explains 58.93 % of the variance. Confirmatory factor analysis present adequate indices (CFI, RMR, RMSEA), that prove a balanced and parsimonious fit of the model structure. Conclusion: The FACT-GP showed a structure similar to the original version with valid and reliable indicators for its use in clinical care and research aimed at the general Mexican population.
