pha uk research has shown a clear correlation between the cost-of-living crisis and declining health in the ph community.<\/strong><\/p>

the survey, conducted in october and november 2022, reveals that 33% of people with ph feel their disease symptoms have worsened due to soaring costs.<\/p>

a third of those prescribed oxygen say they have reduced how much they use due to the costs of electricity, and 94% have reduced how much they use their heating. of these people, 60% say that feeling cold at home is making their ph symptoms worse.<\/p>

93% of respondents told us they are worried about the crisis having an impact on their physical health, and 90% are worried about it impacting their mental health.<\/p>
