Modelling the effects of low indoor temperatures on the lung function of children with asthma
INTRODUCTION: While many epidemiological studies have shown that low outdoor temperatures are associated with increased rates of hospitalisation and mortality (especially for respiratory or cardiovascular disease), very few studies have looked at the association between indoor temperatures and health. Such studies are clearly warranted, as people have greater exposure to the indoor environment than the outdoor environment. OBJECTIVES: To examine …
O4-1.2 Identifying an optimal exposure metric for measuring the short-term effects of low indoor temperatures on asthmatic children's lung function
Introduction Many epidemiological studies have shown that low outdoor temperatures lead to increased mortality and hospitalisation, generally finding the strongest association to be with temperature below a given threshold measured at a lag of 7–14 days. In contrast, very little work has been done on the health effects of exposure to low indoor temperatures, and none on the best metric of this exposure, despite the fact that people have greater e…
Assessing housing quality and its impact on health, safety and sustainability
BACKGROUND: The adverse health and environmental effects of poor housing quality are well established. A central requirement for evidence-based policies and programmes to improve housing standards is a valid, reliable and practical way of measuring housing quality that is supported by policy agencies, the housing sector, researchers and the public. METHODS: This paper provides guidance on the development of housing quality-assessment tools that l…
Effect of insulating existing houses on health inequality
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether insulating existing houses increases indoor temperatures and improves occupants' health and wellbeing. DESIGN: Community based, cluster, single blinded randomised study. SETTING: Seven low income communities in New Zealand. PARTICIPANTS: 1350 households containing 4407 participants. INTERVENTION: Installation of a standard retrofit insulation package. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Indoor temperature and relative humidity,…
