Details

This is a joint analytical article between the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) on deaths during heat-periods in 2022. ONS analysis uses deaths occurrence data (from registered death certificates) to calculate excess mortality during heat-periods for England and Wales. Breakdowns include age, sex, leading causes and place of occurrence from heat-periods in 2016 to 2022. UKHSA analysis uses a statistical model to adjust for registration delays to estimate excess mortality (excluding COVID-19) during heat-periods for the most vulnerable age group (ages 65 and over) in England.
