Why is life expectancy falling in the US?
COVID-19, drug overdoses, and accidental injury accounted for about two-thirds of the decline in life expectancy, according to the 2022 report. Other reasons included heart and liver disease and suicides.
The drop in life expectancy would have been even greater if not for a bit of good news: decreases in deaths from chronic lung disease, pneumonia, influenza, and Alzheimer's disease.

Some groups experienced much bigger drops in life expectancy over the last two years than others:
6.6 years for the American Indian/Alaska Native population
4.2 years for Hispanic Americans
4.0 years for Black Americans
2.4 years for white Americans
2.1 years for Asian Americans.
