Brief, valid screening tools with age-specific normative data are needed for this growing population. This study examined the psychometric properties of the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4) and established age- and gender-specific normative values for adults aged 60 years and older in Germany.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Data were drawn from four nationally representative face-to-face household surveys conducted in Germany between 2021 and 2024.

The correlated two-factor model, distinguishing depression and anxiety symptoms, demonstrated excellent fit. Measurement invariance was supported across gender and age groups. Women reported higher overall psychological distress than men, mainly due to higher anxiety symptoms, and PHQ-4 scores were highest in the oldest age group. Convergent validity was supported by moderate to strong negative correlations with quality of life, resilience, sense of coherence, and well-being. Age- and gender-specific normative values were provided for the PHQ-2, GAD-2, and PHQ-4.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The PHQ-4 is a reliable and valid ultra-brief screening instrument for psychological distress.
