New paper: Life expectancy changes since COVID-19
In a paper published in Nature Human Behaviour, Jonas Schöley, José Manuel Aburto, Ilya Kashnitsky and colleagues used data on deaths from 29 countries between 2015 and 2021 to estimate changes in life expectancy. They find that in many of the countries assessed, life expectancy returned to pre-pandemic levels in 2021, but several — including the US, Chile and countries in Eastern Europe — continued to see a fall in life expectancy.
