ABSTRACT
Background The purpose of this study is to identify differences in effectiveness between the two periods before and after COVID-19 by using a multiple group analysis to determine the effect of the lifestyle(physical activity, activity participation, and nutrition) of the middle and older people on subjective health, depression and quality of life. Method Among those aged 55 and older, the study measured lifestyle, subjective health, depression, and quality of life for a total of 327 people. We used SPSS 25 for general characteristics of subjects, descriptive statistical analysis of variables, and AMOS 20 for validation of variables, affirmative factor analysis, and effectiveness analysis on paths. Result Multiple group analysis shows that the path of health?depression was significant at 99% confidence before COVID-19 and between activity participation?quality of life at 90% confidence. Conclusion Comparison of final research models from two periods before and after COVID-19 shows that social isolation resulting from COVID-19 negatively affects depression and quality of life. These results suggest that health care is essential for middle-aged and elderly people, and that measures should be taken to address the restrictions on participation in activities caused by social isolation.
