老年憂鬱症是老年人自殺的主要因數。人口老化是全世界的趨勢，因此，探討老年憂鬱症是一項重要的研究。自尊是個人如何評估他自己，自尊可以幫助預測憂鬱症情況。本研究係探討老年人的自尊是否具有老年人休閒運動和憂鬱症的仲介效果。本研究以蒐集之問卷用迴歸分析及仲介模型探討老年人自尊的仲介效果。本研究結論為老年人的自尊對憂鬱症有顯著負面影響，老年人的自尊並非老年人休閒運動和憂鬱症的仲介變項。

Depression has been a leading factor that causes suicide among older people. The rapidly-growing population of elderly people is a worldwide phenomenon. Therefore, to explore depression among older adults becomes a crucial study. Self-esteem involves how individuals evaluate themselves. In addition, self-esteem can help predict depression phenomenon among older people. This study explores whether the relationship between physical activity and the severity of depression will be mediated by self-esteem in elderly people and whether the relationship between leisure activity and the severity of depression will be mediated by self-esteem in elderly people. This study used regression analysis and mediated model to explore the mediated effect of self-esteem among older people. The results demonstrated that higher self-esteem had a significant negative effect on the severity of depression in elderly people. Furthermore, the relationship between physical activity and severity of depression was not mediated by self-esteem in elderly people and the relationship between physical activity and severity of depression is not mediated by self-esteem in elderly people.
