爱尔兰老龄化纵向研究（TILDA）是一项前瞻性队列研究，旨在为解决与爱尔兰人口老龄化相关的挑战和机遇提供证据基础。惠兰等人描述了抽样和研究设计。2简而言之，抽样框架基于爱尔兰地理目录，这是爱尔兰共和国所有住宅地址的全面和最新列表和地图，由An Post（爱尔兰邮政服务）和爱尔兰地形测量所编制。3参与者使用RANSAM抽样程序随机选择，因此爱尔兰的每个住宅地址都有相同的选择概率。居住在社区的50岁及以上的成年人及其配偶（任何年龄），只要没有精神错乱，并且能够提供知情同意，都有资格参加。数据收集有三个组成部分：(i)计算机辅助个人访谈（CAPI），由训练有素的社会访谈者在参与者家中进行；（ii）在参与者自己的时间内完成一份自填问卷（SCQ）；（iii）由训练有素的研究护士在专门的健康中心进行全面的健康评估，或在参与者家中进行修改后的评估。2009年10月至2011年2月期间对8504名参与者进行了基线访谈；85%和72%的参与者分别完成了SCQ和健康评估。前四期研究计划每两年进行一次，由爱尔兰政府、大西洋慈善基金会和爱尔兰人寿有限公司资助。每一波数据收集都获得了都柏林圣三一学院健康科学学院研究伦理委员会的伦理批准。
As outlined in the original cohort profile, 1 The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA) is a prospective cohort study designed to provide an evidence base for addressing the challenges and opportunities associated with population ageing in Ireland. The sampling and study design are described in Whelan et al. 2 Briefly, the sampling frame is based on the Irish Geodirectory, a comprehensive and up-to-date listing and mapping of all residential addresses in the Republic of Ireland, compiled by An Post (the Irish Postal Service) and Ordnance Survey Ireland. 3 Participants were randomly selected using the RANSAM sampling procedure, so that each residential address in Ireland had an equal probability of selection. Communitydwelling adults aged 50years and over and their spouses (of any age) who were non-demented and able to provide informed consent were eligible to participate. There are three components to data collection:(i) a computer-assisted personal interview (CAPI) administered by trained social interviewers in the participants’ own homes;(ii) a self-completion questionnaire (SCQ) completed in the participants’ own time; and (iii) a comprehensive health assessment delivered by trained research nurses in a dedicated health centre, or a modified version delivered in the participant’s home. Baseline interviews on 8504 participants took place between October 2009 and February 2011; 85% and 72% of these participants completed the SCQ and health assessment, respectively. The first four waves of the study, scheduled to take place every 2 years, was funded by the Irish Government, The Atlantic Philanthropies and Irish Life plc. Ethical approval for each wave of data collection was obtained from the Trinity College Dublin Faculty of Health Sciences Research Ethics Committee.
