doi:10.7929/ISSDA/HSBNCU0053-02 https://doi.org/10.7929/ISSDA/HSBNCU The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA) Wave 2, 2012-2013 TILDA TILDA collects information on all aspects of health, economic and social circumstances from adults aged 50 years and over resident in Ireland. Waves of data collection take place every two years. TILDA provides a comprehensive and accurate picture of the characteristics, needs and contributions of older persons in Ireland to inform and support improvements in policy and practice; advancements in technology and innovation; tailored education and training through an enhanced ageing research infrastructure; harmonisation with leading international research to ensure adoption of best policy and practice and comparability of results. TILDA is necessary to act as the foundation on which we can plan appropriate health, medical, social and economic policies for our older adults.<br> <br> Wave 2 dataset: version 2.8<br>The version 2.8 PMF dataset includes data from 7,206 TILDA respondents who completed a second self-interview during the Wave 2 fieldwork. Data from any respondents who were new at Wave 2, respondents who had passed away between the waves and data from returning respondents who required a proxy interview have been removed (n=408) to protect anonymity. The dataset includes data from the home interview, the self-completion questionnaire and certain other variables derived from this data. More information on these derived variables can be found in the ‘Wave 2 Derived Variable Codebook’.
