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. It involves interviews on a two yearly basis with a large cohort of people aged 50 and over to collect detailed information on all aspects of their lives, including the economic dimension (pensions, employment, living standards etc.), health aspects (physical, mental, service needs and usage, etc.) and social aspects (family structure and support, formal and informal care, social participation, social engagement, etc.)

The study involves both survey interviews and physical and biological measurements to be carried out by trained nurses in specially equipped centres, and in respondent homes. The sample size for the main survey is 8,000 people, and the data collection for wave 1 is finalized. The project is currently being planned across a ten-year time horizon.
The study is closely harmonised with leading international research to ensure adoption of best practice and comparability of results.
