Abstract

The study aims to expand support in the literature for the connection between activity participation and life satisfaction by exploring older adults’ experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Secondary data from the 2020 Health and Retirement Study COVID-19 Project were analyzed using a cross-sectional descriptive design. Results suggest that individuals with a higher frequency of activity participation reported higher life satisfaction.
