The purpose of this study is to examine how depression during COVID-19 affected the relationship between Activities of daily living ability(ADL) and life satisfaction according to the household type of the elderly. To determine the purpose, the mediating effect based on Baron&Kenny(1986) was verified on 3,395 elderly living alone and 6,960 elderly non-living alone using data from the 2020 Senior Survey. The main findings are as follows. First, ADL had a positive effect on life satisfaction in both the elderly living alone and the non-living alone during the COVID-19. Second, the depression of the elderly living alone and the non-living alone had a negative effect on life satisfaction. Third, ADL of the non-living alone elderly had a negative effect on depression, but ADL of the elderly living alone did not have a significant effect on depression. Finally, in the mediating effect analysis, the partial mediating effect of depression was confirmed in the relationship between ADL and life satisfaction in the non-living alone elderly, but the mediating effect of depression was not shown in the living alone. Theoretical and policy suggestions were presented based on these research results.
