Abstract: The evaluation of physical literacy has been extensively validated in adolescents, but its applicability to older adults remains underdeveloped. This study examines the relationship between functional fitness and physical competence in older women. A total of 350 female older adults from community centers in Southern Taiwan completed the 11-item Senior Perceived Physical Literacy Instrument (SPPLI-11) (Cronbach’s α = 0.90) and the Senior Functional Fitness Test (SFFT). Simple linear regression analyzed the correlation between SPPLI and SFFT components, while a t-test assessed SPPLI differences across age groups. Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) (β = −0.264, p
