Reacción a "Reaction: Rising house prices linked to poorer health, death and suicides"

The study expands on existing knowledge about the health risks of high housing costs. They find that countries with higher housing costs per income have higher mortality, suicides and premature mortality. However, countries' social spending and housing control measures managed to attenuate this association, so that higher social spending or better housing policies manage to eliminate part of the health effects of housing prices.  

The main limitation of the study is that it is not possible to study in which people there is greater mortality due to housing prices or who benefits from social programmes.
