Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Ethical approval for the IDS-TILDA study was granted by the Faculty of Health Sciences Research Ethics Committee in Trinity College Dublin. In addition, local and/or regional ethical committee approval was granted from each service provider (<i>n</i> = 138).Participants signed written informed consent independently (with the aid of easy-to-read information) or, if this was not possible, a family member/guardian signed a letter of agreement for their family member to participate. Consent to participate in the health assessment was also collected in writing at the time of the objective measures. A system of process consent was employed whereby between each measure, affirmation to proceed to the next measure was attained from the participant.
