Prolonged sedentary behaviors increase the risk for adverse health outcomes among older adults. This study explored the effects of participation in meaningful occupations on sedentary behavior, quality of life, and occupational performance among community-dwelling older adults. This exploratory study utilized a one-group, pretest-posttest design using the Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire, RAND-SF 36, and the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure. Six community-dwelling older adults between the ages of 76 and 87 ( M  = 81.83,  SD  = 3.87) participated in this exploratory study. No significant difference was noted in sedentary behavior. Significant changes in physical function and role limitations were found. Change in occupational satisfaction and performance was significant among some participants. Engagement in meaningful occupations did not result in improved quality of life. Occupation-based interventions may impact the perceived quality of life and occupational performance in community-dwelling older adults; however, further research is needed.
