The purposes of this study were (i) to analyze the relationship between leisure
satisfaction and life satisfaction among baby-boomers, (ii) to find the mediating
effects of self-rated health and mental health status, and (iii) to suggest intervention
directions for active aging of baby-boomers in the near future. The data used for
this study were from the data set of 'Preparation for later life survey of middle-aged
people'. As results of three-step mediated regression analyses, leisure satisfaction of
baby-boomers had positive impact on life satisfaction. Self-rated health had a
mediating effect between leisure satisfaction and life satisfaction. Factors influencing
life satisfaction of baby-boomers were leisure satisfaction, employment, educational
background, monthly income, and spouse status. Self-rated mental health status had a
mediating effect between leisure satisfaction and life satisfaction. Leisure satisfaction
and monthly income were significant variables to predict life satisfaction. Based on
these findings, the practical implications for baby-boomers' satisfactory life for their
old age are discussed.
