COVID-19 has a significant impact on our living behavior. The emergence of depressive symptoms is beginning to be a problem for the elderly. This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between changes in li ving behavior and depressive symptoms in a suburban residential area during the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted a questionnaire survey at Teraikedai in Osaka Prefecture. The results showed that depressive symptoms were related to living behaviors such as "daily physical activity," "community gatherings about hobbies," and "sleep at night." Residents with depressive symptoms wanted community activities related to child safety.
