Background: Assessing individuals' positioning regarding their adaptation to retirement is a relevant indicator of health status in one of the most critical life transitions occurring in adulthood. Objective: To validate the Positioning Scale for Adaptation to Retirement (EPFAR). Methodology: Methodological study of scale validation carried out with a random sample of 115 Portuguese retirees. The quality of the instrument was assessed. An exploratory factor analysis assessed construct validity, and an internal consistency analysis assessed reliability. Results: The retained factors resulted in a 4-factor solution that explained 56.41% of the variance. The internal consistency analysis was performed using Cronbach's alpha, and the results obtained for all items of the scale revealed an  = 0.90. Conclusion:The EPFAR is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing individuals' positioning towards retirement.
