TY  - JOUR
AB  - We report further details of the Eurowinter survey of cold related mortalities and protective measures against cold in seven regions of Europe, and review these with other evidence on the relationship of winter mortality to climate. Data for the oldest subject group studied, aged 65-74, showed that in this vulnerable group, high levels of protection against indoor and outdoor cold at given outdoor temperatures were found mainly in countries with cold winters, and were associated with low levels of excess mortality at a given level of outdoor cold. Regions such as London that had poor protection against cold and/or high baseline mortalities had higher levels of winter excess mortality than expected for the coldness of their winters.
