Abstract
Increased morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular and respiratory disease in the elderly is strongly associated with cold winters in Britain. Though there is often impairment of thermoregulation in old people, deaths from hypothermia are proportionally small. Recent physiological investigations on the effects of cold in the elderly may help to explain the causes of excess winter deaths.Entities:
