We report baseline data from a longitudinal wellness program study of residents in low-income independent communities in Southwest Ohio. Assessments measured general health, quality of life, and psychosocial function. Participants (N = 119) were older adults (M=73.5, SD=8.6), primarily female (83.2%), African American (60 .5%), and with annual incomes below $25,000 (86%) . Quartile splits of the Social Engagement and Activities Questionnaire (SEAQ) were used to define engagement, with most participants (69.9%) classified as engaged. Compared to engaged peers, unengaged residents (31.1%) scored significantly lower on domains of physical functioning (M = –12.27, p = .020), vitality (–9.86, p = .016), and emotional well-being (–10.26, p = .013), on the SF–36 quality of life instrument, and had higher fall risk scores (M = 1.37, p = .035) on a fall risk assessment. Other SF-36 domains trended in the expected direction but were nonsignificant. Unengaged residents also showed nonsignificant trends toward greater loneliness scores (UCLA-3 Item) and healthcare utilization (annual hospital visits) . Examining social isolations using the Lubben Social Network Scale (LSNS-6), unengaged residents were nearly three times more likely to report social isolation than engaged residents (32.4% vs. 12.2%; OR = 3.46, 95% CI [1.33–8.98]) . Findings highlight the need to improve engagement in wellness programming of older low-income adults living independently.  \nAbstract citation ID: igaf122.4129  \nHEALTH AND PSYCHOSOCIAL RISKS OF  \nUNENGAGED RESIDENTS IN LOW-INCOME  \nINDEPENDENT LIVING COMMUNITIES  \nJeremy Johnson1, Khalid Yusuf2, Emily Campbell1, Autumn Hart1, and Victor Ronis-Tobin1, 1.
