Abstract

Because TILDA has comprehensive data collected at regular periods for the past 10 years we can explore how immune profiles and other biological and social factors change over time and which changes enhance an individual's vulnerability to infection from COVID-19'. 'The measures which have been introduced as a result of COVID-19 have particularly impacted on the lives of people over 70. TILDA researchers will also look at the impact of these policies on mental and physical health and hear the voice and views of those most affected. This is important if we are to understand and manage the collateral damage from COVID-19 on this vulnerable group'
