For many years, the housing environment has been acknowledged as one of the main settingsthat affect human health. Living and housing conditions are the basis of many factorsinfluencing residential health. Still, to date there is no commonly agreed upon definition of„healthy housing‟, and there are still major gaps in the knowledge on how housing conditionsmay affect health. Epidemiological findings suggest strong associations between housingconditions and health effects. This paper explores the relevance of housing conditions as akey factor influencing mental health, sleep quality, indoor air, home safety, accessibility,obesity, mould growth, hygrothermal conditions and energy consumption, perception ofcrime, and residential quality.
