This study reviewed previous studies and discussed the relationship between sedentary behaviour and mental health in older adults. We also discussed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sedentary behaviour and mental health in older people. The findings suggest that longer sedentary time may have a negative impact on mental health. Especially, previous studies consistently reported that mentally-passive sedentary behaviour, such as television viewing, is associated with poorer mental health in older adults. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected people of all ages, including the older population, by decreasing their physical activity and increasing their sedentary time. These changes in activity have led to deterioration in mental health. Therefore, it is essential to send public health messages to people encouraging them to reduce sedentary time in their daily lives and be physically active to maintain and improve their health, including their mental health, even in the COVID-19 pandemic. It is crucial to reduce mentally-passive sedentary behaviour, such as television viewing, to maintain mental health in older people.
