Methods: We select 413 people over 60 years old(213 female and 200male).We collected data using GHQ 15-question survey, Nagi questionnaire, and a new reliable and validated the designed questionnaire. We analyzed our data utilizing spearman correlation, and regression analysis in SPSS21. Results: We report a relationship between recreational and religious activities in the absence of confounding factors but only religious activities were associated with mental health in the presence of confounding factors(p-value <0/0001). Among the confounding factors, physical health imposed the most significant effect.
