Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)

The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing is a nationally representative longitudinal cohort study of people aged 50 and over in Ireland. It is a multidisciplinary study focusing on the health, economic and social circumstances of older adults in order to understand the determinants of ageing, early identifiers of the process, inform policy and track the effectiveness of policy change and interventions. The study has leveraged intelligence from previous technology research in clinical cohorts to create a unique dataset of physiological coupled with neuropsychological measures.
