The UK has more ill health and extra deaths in winter than colder European countries do. Cold kills 18,000 to 30,000 people each year in the UK. Two and a half million UK households have trouble heating their homes and have 'fuel poverty'. Excessively hot temperatures are also detrimental to health. With global climate change, excess deaths in heatwaves are expected to increase. This particularly affects people who are poor, older, or have poor health.Various government policies have tried to make people's homes easier to heat. 'Energy efficiency' improvements include loft and wall insulation, new heating systems, stopping draughts, and double-glazing. Financial support includes cash payments and rebates to vulnerable households to reduce the costs of heating. Our study will examine the effects of these housing energy policies on changing energy use, indoor temperatures, and health of older people. For example, what types of interventions (energy efficiency improvements and/or financial) are most effective at improving indoor temperatures? Do they benefit low-income households enough? Do people respond by improving the indoor temperature or by spending less on heating, releasing funds for food or other needs? Does people's age or how poor/wealthy they are affect that? Are improved indoor temperatures associated with longer lives or fewer hospital admissions? Have policies reduced inequalities in health between poorer and richer families, or older people of different ages? We will also use our study to look at the recommended indoor temperatures for health for the general population and for people at greater risk.We will use data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) in two ways. First, we are linking ELSA data (including indoor temperature) with information on what energy efficiency improvements have been undertaken in participants' homes and with the outdoor temperature. Our study will analyse the effects of the different home energy measures by looking at people's spending on heating their home and the actual indoor temperature. Secondly, we will use ELSA data linked to hospital and mortality records. We will look at the effects of indoor temperature on later health. We will examine sub-groups of people at different stages of their life or at higher risk of disease. No individual will be identifiable in the linked datasets. We have approval from an NHS Research Ethics Committee for this study.Results of our study will help national and local governments and other organisations decide which policies and measures work best to reduce people's spending on energy and exposure to cold homes, and how this affects health, wellbeing and quality of life.

英国在冬季比寒冷的欧洲国家有更多的健康状况不佳和额外的死亡。在英国，每年有18,000到30,000人死于寒冷。250万英国家庭难以为他们的房屋供暖，并且存在“燃料贫困”。过高的温度也对健康有害。随着全球气候变化，预计热浪造成的死亡人数将增加。这尤其影响到穷人、老人或健康状况不佳的人。各种政府政策试图使人们的房屋更容易供暖。“能源效率”的改进包括阁楼和墙壁绝缘，新的加热系统，停止吃水，双层玻璃。财政支助包括向弱势家庭支付现金和退款，以减少取暖费用。我们的研究将研究这些住房能源政策对能源使用变化、室内温度和老年人健康的影响。例如，哪些类型的干预措施（提高能源效率和/或财政）在改善室内温度方面最有效？低收入家庭是否受益？人们的反应是提高室内温度，还是减少取暖开支，腾出资金用于食品或其他需求？人们的年龄或他们的贫穷/富裕程度会影响这一点吗？改善室内温度是否与更长的寿命或更少的住院率有关？政策是否减少了贫穷家庭和富裕家庭之间或不同年龄的老年人之间在健康方面的不平等？我们还将利用我们的研究来研究为普通人群和风险更大的人群推荐的室内温度。我们将以两种方式使用英国老龄化纵向研究（艾尔莎）的数据。首先，我们将艾尔莎的数据（包括室内温度）与参与者家中的能源效率改进信息以及室外温度联系起来。我们的研究将分析不同的家庭能源措施的影响，通过观察人们在取暖方面的支出和实际的室内温度。其次，我们将使用与医院和死亡率记录相关的艾尔莎数据。我们将看看室内温度对以后健康的影响。我们将研究处于生命不同阶段或疾病风险较高的人群。在链接的数据集中没有个人可识别。我们的研究结果将帮助国家和地方政府以及其他组织决定哪些政策和措施最有效地减少人们在能源和寒冷房屋中的支出，以及这如何影响健康，福祉和生活质量。
