Same in the Netherlands. There's quite a bit of energy poverty with people no longer being able to afford to properly heat their homes. That's especially an issue for people living in older, poorly insulated apartments on low incomes.
Lots of people that just sit on the couch under a blanket to stay warm. Apparently, hypothermia with elderly people has been a thing. That also increases the likelihood of strokes and other issues. Especially people with poor circulation. Other issues include respiratory issues due to cold and increased humidity in the apartments.
