DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-run substantive aim of this project is to combine sophisticated objective health measurements with economic and social data on an international scale in order to better understand how health outcomes in older ages are related to the economic and social policy environment. Specifically, the project will explore whether and how methodological innovations in measuring health in large-scale population surveys, which have been made by the Irish TILDA study, can be usefully employed by the growing set of internationally comparable aging surveys, including the US Health and Retirement Study (HRS). The Irish TILDA study has developed a set of innovative health assessments using hi-tech instruments and analytic methods. In parallel, the Irish branch of SHARE has collected one wave of data in 2007 that is strictly comparable to the other 19 SHARE countries and is currently in the process of collecting life histories in that same sample covering the health, employment, earnings and family history from childhood to today. The core technical outcome of the proposed project will be a state-of-the-art survey instrument with the potential of being widely applicable to other aging surveys. This will be achieved by five integrated sets of activities: 1. Sending all Irish SHARE sample members to the TILDA health assessment centers or applying the in-home health assessment procedures developed by TILDA; 2. Exploring which selected set of portable TILDA health assessments is most suitable for application in other SHARE countries; 3. Merging the Irish SHARE sample data obtained from the TILDA health assessments, the life- histories, and the first wave into an unprecedentedly rich dataset; 4. Ensuring much closer alignment in future waves of SHARE-Ireland and TILDA by harmonizing the two survey instruments in the socio-economic fields; 5. Exploring the usefulness of such merged data in an analysis of health changes stratified by type and extent of financial losses in the wake of the 2008/09 financial crisis. The project team brings together a number of recognized experts in the fields of economics, survey methods and geriatric medicine in three institutions. The proposed research design will provide important insights, both methodological and substantive, for all countries, including the US and UK, concerned with understanding the implications of population aging. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The long-run substantive aim of this project is to combine sophisticated objective health measurements with economic and social data on an international scale in order to better understand how health outcomes in older ages are related to the economic and social policy environment.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的长期实质目标是将复杂的客观健康测量与经济和社会数据结合在国际规模上，以便更好地了解年龄较大的健康状况如何与经济和社会相关政策环境。具体而言，该项目将探讨爱尔兰Tilda研究已经进行的大规模人口调查中的方法论创新是否可以通过日益增长的国际上可比的老化调查（包括美国健康和包括美国）和退休研究（HRS）。爱尔兰蒂尔达（Tilda）的研究已使用高科技工具和分析方法开发了一系列创新的健康评估。同时，爱尔兰股份分支机构在2007年收集了一波数据，该数据浪潮与其他19个股份国家（目前都在收集同一样本中的生活历史，涵盖健康，就业，收入和家族史的过程中从童年到今天。拟议项目的核心技术结果将是一种最先进的调查工具，其潜力有可能广泛适用于其他老龄化调查。这将通过五组综合活动来实现：1。将所有爱尔兰股份样本成员发送到蒂尔达健康评估中心或应用Tilda开发的家庭健康评估程序； 2。探索选定的便携式Tilda健康评估集最适合在其他股份国家 /地区的应用； 3。合并从Tilda健康评估，寿命和第一波获得的爱尔兰共享样本数据合并为前所未有的丰富数据集； 4。通过协调社会经济领域的两种调查工具来确保将来的股份爱尔兰和蒂尔达的浪潮更紧密地保持一致； 5。在2008/09金融危机之后，探索此类数据在对健康变化分析的分析中的有用性。项目团队汇集了三个机构的经济学，调查方法和老年医学领域的许多公认的专家。拟议的研究设计将为包括美国和英国在内的所有国家提供重要的见解，无论是方法论上还是实质性的，都涉及了解人口衰老的含义。 公共卫生相关性：该项目的长期实质目标是将复杂的客观健康测量与经济和社会数据结合在国际范围内，以便更好地了解老年的健康状况如何与经济和社会政策环境相关。
