The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA), Wave 3, 2014-2015

The TILDA Series data, including studies 34315, 38681, 37105, 37106, 38670, 38674, are currently unavailable at the request of the data producer due to concerns related to EU and Irish data privacy and data sharing rules. We are working to determine the best solution to continue to share these data with the research community. Individuals interested in obtaining TILDA data access at this time should reach out to the TILDA project directly (https://tilda.tcd.ie/data/accessing-data/).
The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA) is a major inter-institutional initiative led by Trinity College Dublin which aims to produce a massive improvement in the quantity and quality of data, research and information relating to older people and ageing in Ireland. Eligible respondents for this study include individuals aged 50 and over and their spouses or partners of any age. The study involves interviews on a two yearly basis with a sample cohort of 8,504 people aged 50 and over (or their spouses/partners) and resident in Ireland, collecting detailed information on all aspects of their lives, including the economic (pensions, employment, living standards), health (physical, mental, service needs and usage) and social aspects (contact with friends and kin, formal and informal care, social participation). Both survey interviews and physical and biological measurements are utilized.
The third wave of TILDA interviews were undertaken between March 2014 and October 2015. Of the 7,445 interviewed in Wave 2, a third interview was obtained for 6,874 respondents. These consisted of the self, proxy and end-of-life interviews types. In addition to the returning respondents, 28 interviews were obtained from eligible household members who had chosen not to take part in Wave 1 or the new spouses/partners of existing respondents.
Demographic and background variables include age, sex, marital status, household composition, education, and employment.

爱尔兰老龄化纵向研究（The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing, TILDA）是由都柏林圣三一学院（Trinity College Dublin）牵头的大型跨机构研究项目，旨在大幅提升爱尔兰老年人与老龄化相关的数据、研究成果及信息的数量与质量。本研究的合格受访者为年满50岁及以上的个体，以及其任意年龄段的配偶或伴侣。研究每两年开展一次访谈，针对居住在爱尔兰的8504名年满50岁及以上的样本队列（或其配偶/伴侣）进行调研，收集其生活各维度的详细信息，涵盖经济维度（养老金、就业状况、生活水平）、健康维度（躯体健康、心理健康、服务需求与使用情况）以及社会维度（与亲友的联系、正式与非正式照护、社会参与）。研究同时采用问卷访谈与躯体、生物学测量两种数据采集方式。
TILDA的第三次访谈波次于2014年3月至2015年10月间开展。在第二轮访谈的7445名受访者中，共有6874名受访者完成了第三次访谈，访谈类型包括自主访谈、代理访谈与临终访谈。除回访的受访者外，研究还从未参与第一轮研究的合格家庭成员，以及现有受访者的新增配偶/伴侣中获取了28份访谈样本。
人口统计学与背景变量包括年龄、性别、婚姻状况、家庭构成、受教育程度与就业情况。
