(CNN) – The experience of living in the United States will be completed in the first half of 2020, according to a report published by the National Center for Health Statistics of the Centers for Control and Prevention of EE.UU. (CDC, por sus siglas en Engels). The experts say that covid-19 was a significant factor contributing to the future.
The life expectancy of today’s population was 78.8 years, similar to what it was in 2006, according to the CDC data.
The cambios in the experience of life also amplify the racial and ethnic inequalities. Compared to 2019, the life expectancy of black and Hispanic people in EE.UU. decreased approximately three times more than that of white people in Spanish, in 2.7 years. Reduced to double for the Hispanos, in 1.9 years.
Disparities in life expectancy among blacks and whites have been reduced in the last few years, but these last numbers have been revised as part of this progress.
During the last 40 years, the life expectancy has increased significantly, but rarely has decreased. Between 2014 and 2017, a peak period of the opioid epidemic, the life expectancy decreased by one year, which is significantly lower.
The estimates of life expectancy from the 1980s onwards are consistent with the manner in which CNN’s experts say that estimates of life expectancy after the Second World War II oscillate between the ages of one year and three years.
The pandemic has exacerbated enormous pressure on the United States population. Approximately 490,000 people lost their lives due to illness, and the CDC estimates that the death toll in 2020 will be a mayor.
“A year of experience of loss is lost without a real idea of what grave is here.” In fact, it’s lost millions of years of life, ‘said CNN’s Eileen Crimmins, a professor at the University of Southern California who has investigated deaths in mortality. “The covid is on the road to causing more deaths than the cancer or the cardiac diseases, and so it is important.”
The majority of deaths by covid-19 have occurred between major adults, which tend to have a slight effect on the general life expectancy.
Pero Theresa Andrasfay, researcher at the University of Southern California, has a public work on the potential impact of covid-19 in the experience of life, signaling that there are many deaths among the most adult adults can be less common, the digital figures being sustained.
“These deaths have had a significant impact on the life expectancy because they contribute to more years of life loss,” he told CNN.
The losses in the lost years between the black and Hispanic people are in line with the disproportionate effect that the covid-19 has had in the color communities. The Spaniards and the Negroes and Hispanics have almost doubled the probability of killing covid-19 that whites in Hispanics, according to the most recent data of the CDC.
“At the beginning of the pandemic, it is possible that we think that a virus that is affected is all affected by it,” said Andrasfay. “We are conscious of these disparities of data-wide health, but it is really our job to understand how black and Latin communities are affected by a manner of disproportion.”
The new estimates of life expectancy of the CDC representing the first time that the public agency has these figures using provisional data that provide the certificates of performance that will be received and processed during the first half of 2020.
Debate that is based on the deaths recorded between January and June, the signal informs that the estimates “do not reflect the totality of the effects of the covid-19 pandemic in 2020, nor other changes in the causes of death”.
Geographical areas are affected more than the principle of the pandemic and the opportunity to kill deaths vary according to the jurisdiction.
