CFI1⁄41.000, TLI1⁄41.000, SRMR1⁄40.002, p<0.001. Older persons who were working were less likely to be in Group 2 (b 1⁄4 -1.073, p1⁄4 .003).However, frequency ofparticipatiom in senior activity programmes did not decrease the older person’s predisposition to being more frail and/or cognitively impaired, i.e. Group 2 (b 1⁄4 -0.139, p 1⁄4 .471). Conclusions: In this group of older persons of low SES where the prevalence of CI and physical frailty is high, those who remain working are less likely to be frail and cognitively impaired. This finding validates the value of work as means to preserving cognitive and physical wellness.
