New self-reported exhaustion during the COVID-19 Pandemic
(2021)In 2020, participants from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing were surveyed to provide vital and timely information on lived experiences of older adults during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. During 2020, older adults experienced ... -
NILVAD protocol: a European multicentre double-blind placebo-controlled trial of nilvadipine in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease.
(2014)This study is a European multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial investigating the efficacy and safety of nilvadipine as a disease course modifying treatment for mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease ... -
Nilvadipine in mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease: a randomised controlled trial.
(2018)Background: This study reports the findings of the first large-scale Phase III investigator-driven clinical trial to slow the rate of cognitive decline in Alzheimer disease with a dihydropyridine (DHP) calcium channel ... -
A novel methodology for the synchronous collection and multimodal visualization of continuous neurocardiovascular and neuromuscular physiological data in adults with long COVID
(2022)Reports suggest that adults with post-COVID-19 syndrome or long COVID may be affected by orthostatic intolerance syndromes, with autonomic nervous system dysfunction as a possible causal factor of neurocardiovascular ... -
Nursing home residents attending the emergency department: clinical characteristics and outcomes.
(2013)Nursing home (NH) residents represent the frailest group of older people, and providing gerontologically attuned care that addresses these frailties is often a challenge within the emergency department (ED). This study ... -
Nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic: a scoping review of challenges and responses
(2021)Introduction: COVID-19 has caused unprecedented challenges in nursing homes. In this scoping review, we aimed to describe factors that contributed to the spread and mortality of COVID-19 in nursing homes and provide an ... -
Obesity and Employment in Ireland: Moving Beyond BMI
(ESRI, 2012)I use data from the first wave of the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA) to investigate the impact of obesity on the labour market status of older Irish individuals. I employ an anthropometric indicator of body ... -
Objective Sleep Duration in Older Adults: Results From The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing
(Wiley, 2020)Objective: This study assessed the distribution and correlates of objective sleep duration in the older population in Ireland. Design: Cross-sectional study using population-derived data from wave 3 of The Irish Longitudinal ... -
Older adults shielding at home
(TILDA, 2020)Two thirds of adults aged 60 and older agreed or strongly agreed with shielding. Interestingly, a higher percentage of those most affected by policy, the over 70s, agreed with it. Whether people lived alone or with others ... -
Older adults' experience of ageism during the COVID-19 pandemic
(TILDA, 2020)Despite the fact that the vast majority of older adults are not physically, cognitively or mentally impaired, age-related stereotypes persist. These stereotypes commonly portray older adults as physically and cognitively ... -
Older Hospitalised Patients' Reported Confidence in Managing Discharge Needs: a Retrospective Observational Study
(2023)Objectives: To evaluate the introduction of a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) of self-confidence in managing discharge needs in an acutely hospitalised older adult population. Methods: A retrospective service evaluation ... -
One-dimensional statistical parametric mapping identifies impaired orthostatic cerebrovascular and cardiovascular response in frailty index
(2020)Background: Orthostasis is a potent physiological stressor which adapts with age. The age-related accumulation of health deficits in multiple physiological systems may impair the physiological response to orthostasis ... -
Orthostatic haemodynamics may be impaired in frailty
(2011)Background: orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a physical sign that reflects a final common pathway of various forms of disordered physiology, which is the hallmark of geriatric frailty. Friedet al. recognise three increasing ... -

Orthostatic hypotension and novel blood pressure associated gene variants in older adults: data from the TILDA Study
(2020)Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is associated with increased risk of trauma and cardiovascular events. Recent studies have identified new genetic variants that influence orthostatic blood pressure (BP). The aim of this study ... -
Orthostatic hypotension is associated with lower cognitive performance in adults aged 50 plus with supine hypertension.
(2014)OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the association between orthostatic hypotension (OH), supine hypertension (SH), and cognitive performance. METHODS: Four thousand six hundred and ninety participants of The Irish ... -
Orthostatic intolerance in adults reporting long COVID symptoms was not associated with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome
(2022)In this observational cross-sectional study, we investigated predictors of orthostatic intolerance (OI) in adults reporting long COVID symptoms. Participants underwent a 3-min active stand (AS) with Finapres® NOVA, followed ...
