Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the mediating effect of health behavior between meaning in life and happiness related to aging among community-dwelling older adults during the COVID-19.
Methods: The subjects of this study were 140 older adults in D city. Data were collected from July 21 to August 23 in 2020 using structured questionnaires and analyzed with IBM SPSS 25.0 program. Data were analyzed via independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and regression following the Baron and Kenny method and Sobel test for identifying mediating effect.

The result of this study shows that health behavior completely mediated the relationship between meaning in life and happiness related to aging among older adults (Z=4.17, p<.001).
