According to Castillo (2013), in this year 32,340 people over 60 years old worked in México as merchandise packers in supermarkets without a salary. The main purpose of this research was to identify the perceptions that packers of merchandise have about their work and about the state of health in which they are in the final stage of their life. A questionnaire was designed and 125 merchandise packers were surveyed in supermarkets in Culiacán, Sinaloa, México. Using an analysis of means the results show that most of them are men (60%), with age ranging between 60 and 70 years, with very low school preparation and many of them do not enjoy an economic pension that serve as sustenance; almost the totality works by economic necessity; mainly of men are not satisfied with their work situation; 52.99% of women respondents said than they had a regular or bad state of health.
