The estimates of life expectancy for babies born in 2021-23 will reflect the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, which contributed to a higher-than-average number of deaths in this period.

The team found that average life expectancy at birth rose by 6.5 years across the study period, on average. In the US, it reached 78.8 in 2019, while in Hong Kong it was 85.

Life expectancy only increased by roughly one year between 2021 and 2022. That's not enough to make up for the 2.4-year drop from 2019 to 2021 due to COVID-19.

New research suggests that human life expectancy has hit its peak based on global statistics. Researcher S. Jay Olshansky explains why the focus should shift to healthspan extension.

In North Dakota, for example, male life expectancy jumped 10 years from 66.4 in 1900 to 76.5 in 1950, but only one year, 77.8, from 1950 to 2000. Data reflects the state in which a person died ...
