U.S. life expectancy continued to decline in 2021 following a big drop in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new analysis.
that many of the virus-related deaths occurred in people in the prime of their lives and drove the continued decline of overall U.S. life expectancy.
In 2020, Black life expectancy dropped nearly three years, to 71 years, 10 months. Hispanic Americans were found to have longer life expectancy than White or Black Americans, but had the largest decline in 2020. In the new analysis for 2021, White Americans drove the decline by 0.34 years, a drop that disproportionately impacted the male population.
"Reasons for the crossover in racialized outcomes between 2020 and 2021, in which life expectancy decreased only in the non-Hispanic White population, could have multiple explanations," the authors wrote.
