Quick Glance: 2022 Sees Increase in US Life Expectancy
  • Newborns in the US gained roughly a year in life expectancy in 2022 compared to 2021, indicating progress after two consecutive years of decline due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • Life expectancy at birth for newborns in 2022 was 77.5 years, an increase from 2021, but still lower than the expected 78.8 years for those born in 2019, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

  • The biggest increase in life expectancy from 2021 was observed for non-Hispanic American Indians, by 2.3 years, followed by an increase of 2.2 years for Hispanic newborns.

  • Previous declines in mortality due to COVID explained more than 80% of the increases in life expectancy in all groups, according to the report.
