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. Community-dwelling adults aged 50 years and over and their spouses (of any age) who were non-demented and able to provide informed consent were eligible to participate.

队列资料更新：爱尔兰纵向老龄化研究（TILDA）

如最初的队列资料所述，¹爱尔兰老龄化纵向研究（TILDA）是一项前瞻性队列研究，旨在为解决爱尔兰人口老龄化带来的挑战和机遇提供依据。采样和研究设计在Whelan等人中进行了描述。²简而言之，抽样框架以爱尔兰地理目录为基础，该目录是由爱尔兰邮政（爱尔兰邮政局）和爱尔兰兵器测量局共同编制的，爱尔兰共和国所有居民地址的全面且最新的清单和地图。³参与者是使用RANSAM抽样程序随机选择的，因此爱尔兰的每个居住地址都有相同的选择概率。50岁及以上的社区居民，未痴呆且能够提供知情同意的配偶（任何年龄）都有资格参加。
