However, long-term mental health trajectories beyond the acute phase remain unclear. This study examined distress levels and quality of life (QoL) in individuals with mental and\/or physical health conditions, and across different age groups between 2020 and 2024.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Using data from the COLLATE project \u2013 a series of online mental health surveys of the Australian public \u2013 we conducted general linear models to assess demographic parameters and risk factors associated with distress and QoL in 2,134 participants.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Major Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Mental and physical health conditions were associated with higher distress and lower QoL throughout 2020 to 2024.

Overall, QoL was lower in 2024 than 2020.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Poorer mental health in those with mental and physical health conditions, and younger age groups, persisted from 2020 to 2024.
