摘要

每年冬天,英国65岁以上的人平均有26560人在冬季死亡,其中30%归因于寒冷的房屋。众所周知,寒冷的家庭会加剧65岁以上人群普遍存在的健康问题。通过对已知温度低于世界卫生组织(WHO)最低建议温度(18ºC)的65岁以上老人所居住的家庭进行访谈,本文强调了他们在保持健康和管理家庭方面的斗争,并确定了实现热舒适的极端和潜在危险方法的实例。要缓解当前的问题,更公平的能源供应、更有针对性的财政援助和更完善的支持网络是必要的。

‘The Older I Get, the Colder I Get’—Older People’s Perspectives on Coping in Cold Homes
Abstract An average of 26,560 UK excess winter deaths occur in people 65+ years old each winter, of which 30% are attributed to cold homes. Cold homes are known to exacerbate health problems prevalent in the 65+ demographic. Through conducting interviews in homes occupied by 65+-year-olds known to be achieving less than the World Health Organization (WHO) minimum recommended temperature (18ºC), this article highlights their struggles in maintaining health and managing their homes, with instances of extreme and potentially dangerous methods to achieve thermal comfort identified. Fairer energy provision, better targeted financial aid, and improved support networks are necessary to alleviate current problems.

期刊介绍: Housing is more than houses-it is the foundation upon which the essentials of life are anchored. The quality of housing can enhance or diminish the well-being of individuals and families as well as that of the entire community. Before the Journal of Housing for the Elderly, housing for the elderly as a subject area has a relatively brief history. The Journal of Housing for the Elderly aims to serve the needs of gerontological professionals in the fields of architecture and housing, urban planning, and public policy who are responsible for the residential environments of the elderly in the community.
