Antidepressants are Independently Associated with Gait Deficits in Single and Dual Task Conditions
KENNY, ROSE (2015)Objectives This study examined the relationships between late-onset depressive symptoms, antidepressants, and single and dual task gait in older adults. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting The Irish Longitudinal ... -
Antidepressants strongly influence the relationship between depression and heart rate variability: findings from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)
FINUCANE, CIARAN; CRONIN, HILARY; KENNY, ROSE; O'REGAN, CLAIRE (2015)Background: Heart rate variability (HRV) is known to be reduced in depression; however, is unclear whether this is a consequence of the disorder or due to antidepressant medication. Methods: We analysed data on 4750 ... -
Change in perceived stress and 2-year change in cognitive function among older adults: The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing
KENNY, ROSE; FEENEY, JOANNE; ROBERTSON, IAN (Wiley, 2018)Prolonged or severe stress can adversely affect older adults' cognitive function, but population‐based studies investigating this relationship over time are rare. Previous studies have largely focused on stress either ... -
Cognitive function in the prefrailty and frailty syndrome
KENNY, ROSE; ROBERTSON, DEIRDRE (2014)OBJECTIVES: To explore the relationship between cognitive function and frailty. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study using data from Wave 1 of The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing, a population representative study of ... -
Cognitive function is associated with impaired heart rate variability in ageing adults: the Irish longitudinal study on ageing wave one results.
KENNY, ROSE; COEN, ROBERT; BOYLE, GERARD (2013) -
Cognitive Function Is Preserved in Older Adults With a Reported History of Childhood Sexual Abuse.
KENNY, ROSE (2013)Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) is associated with mood and cognitive deficits in children and young adults. Evidence suggests that the effects of early-life adversity persist throughout adulthood; however, the impact of CSA ... -
Does that look heavy to you? Perceived weight judgment in lifting actions in younger and older adults
KENNY, ROSE; SETTI, ANNALISA (2013)When interpreting other people's movements or actions, observers may not only rely on the visual cues available in the observed movement, but they may also be able to "put themselves in the other person's shoes" by engaging ... -
Early identification of declining balance in higher functioning older adults, an inertial sensor based method.
KENNY, ROSE; CUNNINGHAM, CONAL (2014) -
The effect of multiple chronic conditions on self-rated health, disability and quality of life among the older populations of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland: a comparison of two nationally representative cross-sectional surveys.
KENNY, ROSE (2013)OBJECTIVES: Multimorbidity is common in the older population, but the impact of combinations of chronic conditions on disability and quality of life (QoL) is not well known. This analysis explores the effect of specific ... -
Effects of fear of falling and activity restriction on normal and dual task walking in community dwelling older adults
KENNY, ROSE; DONOGHUE, ORNA; CRONIN, HILARY; SAVVA, GEORGE; O'REGAN, CLAIRE (2013)Fear of falling (FOF) is associated with poor physical and psychosocial health and can have debilitating consequences especially when it leads to activity restriction. This study examined whether normal and dual task gait ... -
Epidemiology of Syncope/Collapse in Younger and Older Western Patient Populations.
KENNY, ROSE (2013)Syncope is a common problem which can be remarkably debilitating and associated with high health care costs; its true incidence is difficult to estimate due to variation in definition, differences in population prevalence ... -
Explaining significant differences in subjective and objective measures of cardiovascular health: evidence for the socioeconomic gradient in a population-based study.

The frailty index in Europeans: assocation with age and mortality.
KENNY, ROSE; ROMERO-ORTUNO, ROMAN (2012)BACKGROUND: the frailty index (FI) is an approach to the operationalisation of frailty based on accumulation of deficits. It has been less studied in Europeans. OBJECTIVE: to construct sex-specific FIs from a large ... -
Graded Association Between Kidney Function and Impaired Orthostatic Blood Pressure Stabilization in Older Adults

Health and aging: development of the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing.
KENNY, ROSE; CRONIN, HILARY; FINUCANE, CIARAN; O'REGAN, CLAIRE (2013)To assist researchers planning studies similar to The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA), concerning the development of the health assessment component, to promote use of the archived data set, to inform researchers ... -
Incidence and prediction of falls in dementia: a prospective study in older
KENNY, ROSE (2009)Background: Falls are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in dementia, but there have been no prospective studies of risk factors for falling specific to this patient population, and no successful falls interventio ... -
