According to government data released on Wednesday, life expectancy in the United States decreased for the second year in a running in 2021 to its lowest level since 1996, owing to Corona fatalities.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the roughly one-year fall since 2020 to 76. 1 years was the biggest two-year decline in life expectancy at birth in over a century.
The gender gap in life expectancy extended last year to its widest in more than two decades, with males now likely to live 73. 2 years, roughly six years less than women.
According to the data, COVID-19 fatalities accounted for half of the overall drop in life expectancy last year, along with drug overdoses and heart disease.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Corona will be responsible for more than 460,000 fatalities in the United States by 2021.
Life expectancy in America fell by approximately 75% in 2020, the most in a single year since World War II, with COVID-19 fatalities accounting for nearly 75% of the drop.
Deaths were somewhat lower in 2022 than in 2020, so I believe we will see a modest rise in life expectancy, according to Robert Anderson, chief of mortality statistics at the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions National Center for Health Statistics.
However, life expectancy is unlikely to rebound to pre-pandemic levels this year, and deaths often spike in the winter months.
Suicide fatalities reduced in 2020, yet they remained the seventh greatest contributor to the drop in life expectancy last year.
Suicide-related fatalities were the third leading cause of male life expectancy decline.
The government cautioned that the figures are preliminary and have significant limitations, including the time it takes various jurisdictions to register death certificates.
Corona is responsible for the greatest drop in life expectancy in America since World War II.
