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.

Multisensory integration precision is associated with better cognitive performance over time in older adults: A large-scale exploratory study

Aging Brain, 2022
Age-related sensory decline impacts cognitive performance and exposes individuals to a greater risk of cognitive decline. Integration across the senses also changes with age, yet the link between multisensory perception and cognitive ageing is poorly ...

Susceptibility to the sound-induced flash illusion is associated with gait speed in a large sample of middle-aged and older adults

Experimental Gerontology, 2023
Background: Multisensory integration is the ability to appropriately merge information from different senses for the purpose of perceiving and acting in the environment. During walking, information from multiple senses must be integrated appropriately to
