Excess Winter Deaths
More people die in the winter than the summer. These excess deaths are largely attributed to respiratory diseases, circulatory conditions or dementia. Excess winter deaths are calculated by comparing the number of deaths between December and March that year with the average number of deaths in the four months immediately before and after. The difference between the winter deaths and the average for the rest of the year is what is known as ‘excess winter deaths’.
