![]() ![]() In 20 peer countries, however, life expectancy decreased by 0.39 years between 20 and then increased by 0.23 years (UR, 0.06 to 0.39) between 20. Peer countries saw lower expectancy in older adults This is a 1.86-year decrease and an additional decrease of 0.55 (UR, 0.36 to 0.71) years between 20. Total US life expectancy fell from 78.85 years in 2019 to 76.99 years in 2020 and to 76.44 (uncertainty range, 76.27 to 76.62) years in 2021. Compared to peer countries, the decline in life expectancy seen in the United States was higher, more racialized, and affected more people in midlife (ages 25 to 54). death rates in 2020 were highly racialized, disproportionately affecting the country’s Native American, Hispanic, and Black populations," the authors wrote. The authors compared US data with death counts for 2019, 2020, and 2021 from 20 peer countries from the January 9, 2023, Human Mortality Database Short-term Mortality Fluctuations (HMD-STMF) publication. death rates in 2020 were highly racialized, disproportionately affecting the country’s Native American, Hispanic, and Black populations. US life expectancy was further stratified by five categories of race/ethnicity. ![]() Provisional counts of death in 2021 (total and separate by COVID-19) were obtained from the December 21, 2022, data release of the NCHS provisional mortality file, the authors said. The study was based on records from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) for 20, and COVID-19 deaths were identified per coding on death records. Researchers have published new data in the American Journal of Epidemiology showing that COVID-19 led to shortened life expectancies across the United States and exacerbated existing racial disparities compared to 20 high-income peer countries, a phenomenon the authors called a "disadvantage in longevity.” ![]()
