Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationship between family relationship satisfaction and depression among middle-aged adults aged 40–64 in Korea, and to assess the moderating role of alcohol consumption in this association, thereby providing empirical evidence to inform mental health promotion and depression prevention policies. Methods: Based on data from the 17th wave (2022) of the Korea Welfare Panel Study, regression analyses were performed using PROCESS macro Model 1 to analyze the association between family relationship satisfaction and depression and to test the moderating effect of alcohol consumption among 2,429 middle-aged adults aged 40–64. Results: First, family relationship satisfaction had a significant negative effect on the level of depression among middle-aged adults (β = -1.402, p < .001). Second, the level of alcohol consumption did not have a significant main effect on depression (β = 0.007, p = 0.505). Third, the interaction effect between family relationship satisfaction and alcohol consumption was significant (β = 0.033, p = 0.023), confirming the moderating effect of alcohol consumption. Fourth, the conditional effect analysis revealed that the negative effect of family relationship satisfaction on depression was strongest at a low level of alcohol consumption (M-1SD) (β = -1.657, p < .001). This mitigating effect on depression was found to be relatively weakened at the average level of alcohol consumption (β = -1.402, p < .001) and at a high level of alcohol consumption (M+1SD) (β = -1.147, p < .001). Conclusions: These findings offer important practical implications for middle-age mental health service settings. To prevent depression and promote mental health during middle age, an integrated approach addressing both family relationship satisfaction and alcohol reduction is necessary. Furthermore, individual psychotherapy should be accompanied by environmental interventions. Specifically, when community mental health centers or comprehensive addiction support centers operate counseling and prevention programs for middle-aged adults, an integrated approach that simultaneously assesses and intervenes in both family relationship issues and drinking behaviors is highly required.
