Results The DJGLS‐6 scored higher for the non‐indigenous group than for Aymara and Mapuche (P &lt; .001). KR‐20 coefficients (internal consistency) for emotional loneliness subscale reached 0.44 for Aymara and Mapuche and 0.62 for non‐indigenous, and from 0.73 (non‐indigenous) to 0.86 (Aymara) for social loneliness subscale. The confirmatory factor analysis identified one dimension. None of the two subscales fit the Rasch model. Conclusion The results indicate that DJGLS‐6 is a reliable and adequate scale for non‐indigenous Chilean older people.
