Short research description: 

Given the potential health and functional benefits of carotenoids in humans ), it is important to study predictors (both modifiable and non-modifiable) of these nutrients in an ageing population. In order to achieve this, my research availed of the unique opportunity that “The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing” (TILDA) offered to study circulating plasma concentrations of the macular carotenoids in association with demographic, lifestyle, and health variables in older Irish adults.
