Alluvial visualization and computation of probabilities of transitions in frailty index states over an 8-year period using multi-state Markov models
(2021)The Frailty Index (FI) is an operationalization of frailty in older adults based on the accumulation of health deficits. FI cut-offs define the non-frail, prefrail and frail states. We described longitudinal transitions ... -
Change in perceived stress and 2-year change in cognitive function among older adults: The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing
(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 ... -
Eight orthostatic haemodynamic patterns in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA): stability and clinical associations after 4 years
(2021)Previous research cross-sectionally characterised eight morphological systolic blood pres-sure (SBP) active stand (AS) patterns using a clinical clustering approach at Wave 1 (W1) of the IrishLongitudinal Study on Ageing. ... -
Eight-year longitudinal falls trajectories and associations with modifiable risk factors: evidence from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)
(2023)Background: The label 'faller' and the associated stigma may reduce healthcare-seeking behaviours. However, falls are not inevitably progressive and many drivers are modifiable. This observational study described the 8-year ... -
Evolutionary Entrepreneurial Ecosystems: a Research Pathway
(2021)The recent widespread interest of policy in entrepreneurial ecosystems has been complemented by a burgeoning academic research output. This research to date may be broadly categorized as focusing on place, actors, governance, ... -
Executive functioning independently predicts self-rated health and improvement in self-rated health over time among community-dwelling older adults
(2016)Objectives: Self-rated health, as distinct from objective measures of health, is a clinically informative metric among older adults. The purpose of our study was to examine the cognitive and psychosocial factors associated ... -
Exploring bi-directional temporal associations between timed-up-and-go and cognitive domains in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)
(2022)Introduction: The bi-directional longitudinal associations between mobility and cognition in older adults are poorly understood. Our objective was to study the temporal associations between timed-up-and-go (TUG) and five ... -
Longitudinal studies of ageing: from insights to impacts: Commentary to accompany themed collection on longitudinal studies
(2019)‘Time is the best diagnostician’: who has not thought this? In clinical practice, presentations are often subtle and decisions made in the face of a‘snapshot.’ Crystal balls do not exist; yet, insights from longitudinal ... -
Longitudinal studies on variation by socio-economic position in child conduct, academic outcomes and curricular choice in the Irish context
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Social Sciences & Philosophy. Discipline of Sociology, 2023)Using unique, nationally representative longitudinal data from Cohort98 of Growing Up in Ireland (N=6,039; 51.2% female; ages 9-17), this thesis evaluates socio-economic inequalities in educational development, decision-making ... -
Transitions in frailty phenotype states and components over 8 years: evidence from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing
(2021)Aim: Fried's frailty phenotype (FP) is defined by exhaustion (EX), unexplained weight loss (WL), weakness (WK), slowness (SL) and low physical activity (LA). Three or more components define the frail state, and one or two ... -
The Use of the World Guidelines for Falls Prevention and Management's Risk Stratification Algorithm in Predicting Falls in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)
(2023)Background: the aim of this study was to retrospectively operationalise the World Guidelines for Falls Prevention and Management (WGFPM) falls risk stratification algorithm using data from The Irish Longitudinal Study on ...
