“…This could be due to fears of contracting the virus in overcrowded environments. These findings have been reported in other studies conducted during the Covid-19 pandemic [95,97]. The present study also found that individuals who experience gender-based violence experience increased SUDs.…”

“…In several previous studies, poor housing conditions negatively affected the health status of residents [23,40,41], especially for apartments, where problems such as overcrowding and poor sound insulation profoundly affect people's daily lives and health status [42]. During the COVID-19 pandemic, more residents chose to work from home [21], and spent more time at home.…”

COVID-19 significantly impacted residents’ health status and daily activities in suburban residential areas. This study elucidated the relationship between health scores, daily activities, and housing types. The method was a questionnaire survey of 378 residents of suburban residential estates in Teraikedai, Kongo District, Japan, during the COVID-19 self-isolation period. Since the survey cohort was New Town, the suburban residential area identified by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism was targeted. The questions included participant demographics, the Basic Survey on Japanese Social Life, and the SF-12v2. The Tukey–Kramer HSD test and stepwise decreasing logistic regression were used for the statistical analysis of the responses. The COVID-19 self-isolation led to lower physical and mental health scores than usual, and the health scores of residents living in detached houses were better than those of residents in apartments, both those over the age of 65 and those under the age of 65. There was also a correlation between residents’ daily activities and their health scores. For those aged under 65 years, the health scores of residents living in detached houses were significantly better than those living in apartments, indicating that daily activities such as sports and recreational hobbies may contribute to health scores.

We are in the middle of an energy price crisis, 1 with energy insecurity, fuel poverty, and their deleterious effects firmly fixed on the policy agenda, in media discourse, and in the public's awareness. Since October 2021, the annual cost of energy for the average household (without government intervention) has risen from roughly £1300 to more than £3500. These rises are expected to continue into 2023 and beyond. 2 Responding to the situation and pressure from charities, campaign groups, and researchers, the UK government has set out drastic fiscal policy. 3
