Linking death registration and survey data: Procedures and cohort profile for The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA) [version 2; 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.

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.

Graded Association Between Kidney Function and Impaired Orthostatic Blood Pressure Stabilization in Older Adults

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
Background Impaired orthostatic blood pressure (BP) stabilization is highly prevalent in older adults and is a predictor of end‐organ injury, falls, and mortality.

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 ...

The temporal precision of audiovisual integration is associated with longitudinal fall incidents but not sensorimotor fall risk in older adults

Scientific Reports, 2023
Sustained multisensory integration over long inter-stimulus time delays is typically found in older adults, particularly those with a history of falls.

Longitudinal validity of spirometers - a challenge in longitudinal studies

Swiss Medical Weekly, 2005
Pulmonary function testing (PFT) in longitudinal studies involves the repeated use of spirometers over long time periods. We assess the comparability of PFT results taken under biologic field conditions using thirteen certified devices of various technology and age. Comparability of measurements across devices and over time is relevant both in clinical

Investigation of the role of sleep and physical activity for chronic disease prevalence and incidence in older Irish adults

BMC Public Health, 2022
Background Chronic diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Many of these diseases have modifiable risk factors, including physical activity and sleep, and may be preventable.

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

Relationship between hippocampal subfield volumes and cognitive decline in healthy subjects

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2023
We examined the relationship between hippocampal subfield volumes and cognitive decline over a 4-year period in a healthy older adult population with the goal of identifying subjects at risk of progressive cognitive impairment which could potentially ...
