This study examined associations of pre-frailty and frailty states with cognitive and functional health outcomes among community-residing older adults ( N = 457) in the Bronx, New York. Results: older adults who met criteria for frailty demonstrated poorer performance in attention, verbal memory, and overall global cognitive functioning compared to healthy controls. Moreover, pre-frail and frail older adults had significantly worse health outcomes including greater perceived difficulty with lower and upper extremity functioning and perceived limitations in completing daily activities, suggesting the need for targeted interventions in the community that may ameliorate age-related health decline
