To achieve the research purpose, the data from 2,054 individuals aged 65 and above were selected from 2022 Korean National Leisure Activity Survey data for further analyses. Respondents’ leisure activity purposes were categorized into ‘pleasure/satisfaction,’ ‘health/rest,’ and ‘passing time.’ One-way ANOVA and multinomial logistic regression analyses were conducted using SPSS 25.0 software. The results indicated a significant difference in leisure satisfaction and happiness according to the purposes of leisure activities. Furthermore, logistic regression analysis identified age, household income, residential area size, subjective health, weekday leisure time, time constraints on leisure, economic constraints on leisure, adequacy of use of leisure facilities, adequacy of leisure facility programs, participation in repetitive leisure activities, leisure consciousness as significant predictors of leisure purposes.
