Cognitive function in the prefrailty and frailty syndrome
(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 Preserved in Older Adults With a Reported History of Childhood Sexual Abuse.
(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 ... -
Cohort Profile: the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing.
(2011)How did the study come about? Ireland shares with other developed countries the prospect of rapid and sustained population ageing. The age distribution of the Irish population is undergoing a dramatic change at present ... -
Comparative analysis of frailty identification criteria on continuous non-invasive neurocardiovascular signals during an active stand test in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)
(2023)Frailty is a distinctive health state related to acceleration of biological ageing in which multiple body systems disproportionately lose their in-built reserves. Older people living with frailty are at higher risk of ... -
Comparison of centre and home-based health assessments: early experience from the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA).
(2011)Background: some cohort studies of ageing and health supplement questionnaire-based surveys with in-home measurements of biological parameters and others have required respondents to attend assessment centres. Centre-based ... -
Comparison of gait speed reserve, usual gait speed, and maximum gait speed of adults aged 50+ in Ireland using explainable machine learning
(2021)Gait speed is a measure of general fitness. Changing from usual (UGS) to maximum (MGS) gait speed requires coordinated action of many body systems. Gait speed reserve (GSR) is defined as MGS–UGS. From a shortlist of 88 ... -
Comprehensive clinical characterisation of brain fog in adults reporting long COVID symptoms
(2022)(1) Introduction: A subset of individuals experiencing long COVID symptoms are affected by ‘brain fog’, a lay term that often refers to general cognitive dysfunction but one that is still poorly characterised. In this ... -
Comprehensive geriatric assessment and clinical outcomes of frail older adults with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: a metanalysis
(2023)Introduction. Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is used to personalize cancer treatments in frail older adults. However, its utility to guide treatments in frail older patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma ... -
Continuous noninvasive orthostatic blood pressure measurements and their relationship with orthostatic intolerance, falls, and frailty in older people.
(American Geriatrics Society, 2011)OBJECTIVES: To identify morphological orthostatic blood pressure (BP) phenotypes in older people and assess their correlation with orthostatic intolerance (OI), falls, and frailty and to compare the discriminatory performance ... -
Control of HIV infection by IFN-α: implications for latency and a cure.
(Springer, 2018)Viral infections, including HIV, trigger the production of type I interferons (IFNs), which in turn, activate a signalling cascade that ultimately culminates with the expression of anti-viral proteins. Mounting evidence ... -
Core requirements of frailty screening in the emergency department:an international Delphi consensus study
(2023)Introduction: Frailty is associated with adverse outcomes among patients attending emergency departments (EDs). While multiple frailty screens are available, little is known about which variables are important to incorporate ... -
COVID-19 deaths in Irish Nursing Homes: exploring variation and association with the adherence to national regulatory quality standards
(CPEC-LSE, 2020)The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected nursing home residents worldwide, with Ireland having one of the highest reported proportions of COVID-19 deaths in this setting. In Ireland, the publication of a ... -
Cross-national disparities in sex differences in life expectancy with and without frailty.
(2014)ACKGROUND: with continued ageing, levels of frailty are an increasing concern. Women live longer than men, but how life expectancies (LE) with frailty differ between men and women and whether sex differences are the ... -
