The Intellectual Disability Supplement to the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (IDS-TILDA) Wave 5, 2023
No full textThe Intellectual Disability Supplement to the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (IDS-TILDA) is a longitudinal study researching ageing in Ireland among people with an intellectual disability aged 40 and over. This study is the first of its kind in Europe, and the only study able to directly compare the ageing of people with an intellectual disability with the general ageing population. The underpinning values of IDS-TILDA are inclusion, choice, empowerment, person centred, the promotion of people with intellectual disability, the promotion of best practice and to contribute to the lives of people with intellectual disability. The objectives of IDS-TILDA are: To understand the health characteristics of people ageing with an intellectual disability; To examine the service needs and health service utilization of people ageing with an intellectual disability; To identify disparities in the health status of adults with an intellectual disability as compared to TILDA findings for the general population; and To support evidence-informed policies, practices and evaluation. IDS-TILDA completed its fifth Wave of data collection in 2023. A total of 762 participants completed the Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI) at Wave 5, consisting of 621 participants who had previously taken part in Wave 4 and 141 newly recruited participants

The first IDS-TILDA COVID-19 survey was developed to assess rates of symptoms and testing, morbidity and treatment, stress and anxiety associated with the pandemic, and any positive outcomes experienced by individuals during the lockdown period. Data were collected between May and September 2020, when Ireland experienced its first wave of infection and first lockdown measures. These data were supplemented with health data from the main IDS-TILDA study, to explore associations with disease morbidity and other health and well-being outcomes, to consider potential predictors of symptoms and COVID positivity and of differences in people’s lives, before and during COVID-19 restrictions
The Intellectual Disability Supplement to the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (IDS-TILDA) Wave 2, loneliness consequences supporting data, 2014

The underpinning values of IDS-TILDA are inclusion, choice, empowerment, person centred, the promotion of people with intellectual disability, the promotion of best practice and to contribute to the lives of people with intellectual disability.

This research looks at the consequences of loneliness in terms of physical and psychological reactions and coping mechanisms through the five pathway social-environmental model to investigate the consequences of loneliness. The article sought to answer the questions: how do older people with an ID physically react to loneliness?; and do lonely people with an ID demonstrate the use of specific coping mechanisms? In adherence with the principals of open science (Health Research Board 2021, Trinity College Dublin, 2020) this data has been deposited to support the submission of a paper deposited with the HRB on 16th October 2021 titled “An exploration of the consequences of, and coping with loneliness in an ageing intellectual disability population” by Dr Andrew Wormald, Professor Mary McCarron and Professor Philip McCallion. This data is extracted from the second wave of the IDS-TILDA study and utilises variables from different sections of the dataset. The data has been anonymized to prevent reverse engineering of the data and the information has been combined so that in cross tabulations of the data no less than 20 participants appear in any cell
Social connections for older people with intellectual disability in Ireland: Results from wave one of IDS-TILDA
No full textBackground: The literature on influences of community versus congregated settings raises questions about how social inclusion can be optimised for people with intellectual disability. This study examines social contacts for older people with intellectual disability in Ireland, examining differences in social connection for adults with intellectual disability and other adults.
Materials & methods: Data were drawn from the IDS-TILDA study in Ireland. A nationally representative sample (n = 753) included adults aged 40 years and older, with additional comparison with general population participants. Predictors of social contacts were explored.
Results: Residence, level of intellectual disability and age were significant factors determining social contact. People in institutional residences, older respondents and those with severe/profound intellectual disability had the lowest levels of contact; older adults with intellectual disability had much lower rates than general population counterparts.
Conclusions: Community-dwelling people with intellectual disability have greater social contact than those living in institutions, but levels are below those for other adults in Ireland
Changing Patterns of Psychotropics Use Among Older Adults With Intellectual Disability Over a Decade, With a Focus on Designated Mental Health Conditions
No full textBackground: Psychotropics (sometimes off-label), mental health diagnoses and behaviours of concern are common in older adults with intellectual disability. Guidelines recommend non-pharmacological interventions and regular medication review. This study examined changes in psychotropics among older adults (≥ 40) with intellectual disability. Methods: Longitudinal data were obtained from the Intellectual Disability Supplement to the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (IDS-TILDA) at two timepoints [Wave 1(2009/10); Wave 4(2019/20)]. Post hoc analysis, Chi-squared tests and univariate binary logistic regression were conducted. Results: Overall, psychotropics decreased (59.2% to 56.5%). Significant decreases in antipsychotics (43.1%–40.1%) and sedatives/hypnotics (13.6%–8.1%) and significant increase in antidepressants (26.2%–31.8%) were found. Nearly half of antidepressant users reported depression at Wave 1, compared with under 30% at Wave 4. Antipsychotics and antidepressants were common (75% and 60%, respectively) among those with behaviours of concern, after excluding clinical indications. Conclusion: Psychotropic prescribing remained consistent, though class-specific patterns shifted, with some decreases or increases observed
Patterns of multimorbidity in an older population of persons with an intellectual disability: results from the intellectual disability supplement to the Irish longitudinal study on aging (IDS-TILDA).
No full textMultimorbidity (2 or more chronic conditions) is being widely studied in older populations and this study explores both the relevance of emerging conceptualizations and the extent to which multimorbidity is a feature of aging in persons with an intellectual disability.
Methods
Data was generated from wave one of the intellectual disability supplement to the Irish longitudinal study on aging (IDS-TILDA) which included 753 persons with an ID aged 40 years and over. Information on the presence of 12 chronic conditions was collected using a standardized protocol administered in face to face interviews with persons with ID and/or their caregivers. Prevalence of multimorbidity was established and patterns were examined using logistic regression models. The patterns of multimorbidity for people with ID that emerged were then compared with those reported for other older adults.
Results
Multimorbidity was established for 71% of the IDS-TILDA sample with women at highest risk and rates of multimorbidity was high (63%) even among those aged 40?49 years. Eye disease and mental health problems were most often associated with a second condition and the most prevalent multimorbidity pattern was mental health/neurological disease.
Discussion
Further investigation, attention to mental health issues and the development of treatment guidelines that recognize chronic condition disease load are critical to mitigating the negative impact of multiple chronic conditions and preventing additional disability in adults with ID as they age.
Highlights
? 12 Chronic conditions and pairings of morbidity examined in national random sample. ? People with ID have higher levels of multimorbidity than general population reports. ? Mental health concerns are more significant for people with ID
