Abstract: The recent study investigated how the level of education could impact the relationship between employment status and mental health in older individuals. The research involved 197 participants ranging from 60 to 84 years old, recruited from the Senior Citizen Chapter in Naawan, Misamis Oriental. The selection of participants was done randomly to ensure a diverse representation of the community. By utilizing Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and multiple regression analysis, the study examined how employment status, educational level and their interaction influence the mental health of the participants. However, no significant correlation was found among these variables. The mental health scores of the participants did not exhibit significant variations based on their employment status or level of education when analyzed individually or collectively. These results provide insights into how socioeconomic aspects relate to mental health in older individuals and suggest that there might be other unexplored factors at play. The absence of conclusive findings demonstrate the necessity for a more comprehensive approach towards understanding what factors impact mental health in the elderly population. It also underscores the significance of studies that promote social interactions and cognitive engagement among older adults.
