This study examined the relationship between meaning in life, depression, and suicidal ideation among older adults. It further verified the mediating effects of depression by distinguishing between those living alone and those living with others, with the aim of developing effective countermeasures against suicidality among older adults. Data was collected from 525 older adults aged 65 and over, using welfare centers and day care centers in the Seoul Metropolitan Area. We used multi-group analysis to identify path differences between living alone and living with others. Living along older adults found less meaning in their lives and showed higher suicidal ideation and depression levels than older adults living with others. In both groups, meaning in life had a negative effect on depression, while depression had a positive effect on suicidal ideation. Depression had a mediating effect on the relationship between meaning in life and suicidal ideation in both groups. Multi-group analysis did not find any path differences between the two groups. Based on our results, we suggest practical and policy interventions to reduce the suicidal ideation in older adults by increasing their meaning in life and decreasing their levels of depression.
