英文摘要	This paper aims to measure multidimensional energy poverty at the household level and study its impacts on health status. Based on Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) data, we evaluated multidimensional energy poverty at the household level using the entropy method. We then examined the effects of energy poverty on health status from both physical and psychological perspectives. The empirical results indicate that multidimensional energy poverty harms both physical and mental health. We further conducted regional and urban–rural comparative analyses. The findings demonstrate that the health of residents in less developed provinces is more severely affected, and multidimensional energy poverty deteriorates the physical health of rural residents but impacts the mental health of urban residents. For developing countries like China, the first priority should be multidimensional energy poverty reduction through modern energy infrastructure system construction and subsidies for energy poor households, and improving the medical security system should be considered as next step. There is also an urgent need of policy measures focusing on mitigating regional and urban–rural disparities at the same time. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd
