title: Reducing winter deaths.
abstract: Morbidity and mortality rates in the UK rise in cold weather, especially for the over 65s. Highest levels of excess winter mortality tend to be in countries where average winter temperatures are relatively mild. Countries with severe winters have better insulation and indoor heating and the inhabitants use more appropriate outdoor clothing.
