Another previous British study in the Journal of Hypertension found a similar association.
The senior author of the 2018 study Doctor Stephen Jivraj of the UCL Institute of Epidemiology & Health Care said: “Our research has helped to explain the higher rates of hypertension, as well as potential increases in deaths from stroke and heart disease, in the winter months, suggesting indoor temperatures should be taken more seriously in diagnosis and treatment decisions, and in public health messages.”
He added: “Among other diet and lifestyle changes people can make to reduce high blood pressure, our findings suggest that keeping homes a bit warmer could also be beneficial.”
In his study, the researchers found that every 1-degree celsius drop in room temperature was “associated” with a rise of 0.48mmHg in systolic blood pressure and 0.45 mmHg in diastolic blood pressure.
