The study was multicentre and involved 139 older adults recruited in the context of primary healthcare. Twenty-three participants were diagnosed with clinical depression. Sensitivity and specificity for different cut-off points were determined based on ROC curve analyses. The cut-off point ≥ 4.5 provided optimal sensitivity (95.7%) and specificity (52.6%) rates. After exclusion from the analysis of illiterate participants’ data, the optimal cut-off point remained unchanged. The European Portuguese version of GDS-15 is an effective tool for depression screening in older adults. Further studies are needed to verify if there are factors, other than formal education, that may influence the scale’s performance. ER -
