Abstract

Background

Despite the high burden from exposure to both hot and cold weather each year in England and Wales, there has been relatively little investigation on who is most at risk, resulting in uncertainties in informing government interventions.

Objective

To determine the subgroups of the population that are most vulnerable to heat-related and cold-related mortality.
