The study found that men and women in California and Hawaii lived longer than other Americans — though still not as long as Australians.
FILE – A couple walks through a park at sunset, March 10, 2021, in Kansas City, Mo. U.S. life expectancy rose in 2022 — by more than a year — after plunging two straight years at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new government report released Wednesday, Nov. 29, 2023. The rise was mainly due to the waning of the pandemic in 2022, researchers said at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The study also found that men and women in California and Hawaii lived longer than other Americans — though still not as long as Australians — while people in the Southeast’s life expectancy is well below the U.S. average .The study’s author attributes the lower rates to more young Americans dying from preventable deaths like drug overdoses murder and car accidents than in other countries, as well as middle-aged Americans having higher rates of death from cardiovascular disease.
