US Life Expectancy Declines, Women Outlive Men by Six Years

Broke On: Friday, 17 November 2023 The life expectancy at birth in the U.S. dropped for the second year in a row, from 78.8 years in 2019 to 76.1 years in 2021. Women in the U.S. now live on average six years longer than men. Factors contributing to this gap include lower cardiovascular disease and lung cancer death rates in women, differences in smoking behaviors, and a higher mortality rate from COVID-19 in men. Men's likelihood to skip routine health checkups, their predominance in dangerous jobs, and higher rates of heart disease also contribute to the life expectancy gap. Improved medical care for women, such as reductions in cancer and perinatal conditions, also contribute to the life expectancy gap.
