During winter, cold indoor temperatures can increase blood pressure, leading to hypertension and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). While insulation and heating can keep homes warm, they may be expensive to install and maintain. However, these costs may be offset by health benefits, such as lower medical bills and longer, healthier lives from insulating homes. Identifying the most cost-effective insulation strategy can help keep homes warm, prevent diseases, and save lives.
