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.Results: Happiness related to aging was positively correlated with meaning in life (r=.33, p<.001) and health behavior (r=.50, p<.001). 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).Conclusion: It is necessary to promote health behavior to improve the happinessrelated to aging of older adults, especially during COVID-19.
