Trail Making Test performance contributes to subjective judgment of visual efficiency in older adults [PDF]

PeerJ, 2015
Introduction. The determinant factors that influence self-reported quality of vision have yet to be fully elucidated. This study evaluated a range of contextual information, established psychophysical tests, and in particular, a series of cognitive tests

Plasma lutein and zeaxanthin concentrations associated with musculoskeletal health and incident frailty in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)

Experimental Gerontology, 2023
Introduction: Lutein and zeaxanthin are diet-derived carotenoids that are proposed to help mitigate frailty risk and age-related declines in musculoskeletal health via their anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Associations between Neurocardiovascular Signal Entropy and Physical Frailty

Entropy, 2020
In this cross-sectional study, the relationship between noninvasively measured neurocardiovascular signal entropy and physical frailty was explored in a sample of community-dwelling older adults from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA).

Association of hypertension and insulin resistance in individuals free of diabetes in the ELSA-Brasil cohort

Scientific Reports, 2023
Insulin resistance (IR) is defined as the subnormal response to insulin action on its target tissues. Studies suggest that IR may increase the risk of hypertension, but the results are inconsistent and it is not known whether such an effect is ...

The Importance of Age in the Prediction of Mortality by a Frailty Index: A Machine Learning Approach in the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing

Geriatrics, 2021
The quantification of biological age in humans is an important scientific endeavor in the face of ageing populations. The frailty index (FI) methodology is based on the accumulation of health deficits and captures variations in health status within ...

Linking death registration and survey data: Procedures and cohort profile for The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

HRB Open Research, 2020
Background: Research on mortality at the population level has been severely restricted by an absence of linked death registration and survey data in Ireland.

Frailty index transitions over eight years were frequent in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

HRB Open Research, 2021
Background: The frailty index (FI) is based on accumulation of health deficits. FI cut-offs define non-frail, prefrail and frail states. We described transitions of FI states in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA).

Predicting mortality in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA): development of a four-year index and comparison with international measures

BMC Geriatrics, 2022
Objectives We aimed to replicate existing international (US and UK) mortality indices using Irish data. We developed and validated a four-year mortality index for adults aged 50 + in Ireland and compared performance with these international indices.
