The gap has expanded to 15.51 years old!

How does the new crown epidemic affect the expected life expectancy? What is the relationship between race, income, and expected life span? A research report published by the "American Medical Association Magazine" website recently gave a set of amazing data: even if the prevention and control measures are relatively strict in the United States, the per capita life expectancy has been reduced by more than 3 years. After the baptism of the new crown, the poverty -stroke and the richest level of life expectancy gap in the expected life expectancy to 15.51 years.

The name of this report is "The change in the relationship between income and expected life before and during the new crown, California, 2015-2021", published on July 7th on the "American Medical Association Magazine" website. Hannes Schwandt, an associate professor of university, other co -authors also include Janet Currie, a professor of Princeton University, and Los Angeles, California Policy Laboratory, the National Economic Research Agency and other institutions from the University of California. Researcher.

The report found that California died 198,6606 from 2015 to 2021, of which 65,4887 were killed from 2020 to 2021. California's expected life span has dropped from 81.4 in 2019 to 79.2 years in 2020, to 2021 to 78.37 years. Two years fell more than 3 years. Among them, non -Spanish white expectations have decreased by 1.9 years, Asians have fallen 3.04 years, blacks have fallen 3.84 years, and Spanish descended 5.74 years.

It can be seen from the data that after the new crown epidemic, the overall life expectancy of the California population has declined, and white people have decreased relatively small.

Compared with the gap between white and Spanish desires, the richest class and the poorest expectation life span is even more outrageous. Studies have shown that the richest 1%population in 2019 and the poverty -stricken 1%population expectation life gap is 11.52 years, and the gap in 2020 expands to 14.67 years. After two years of new crown baptism, this gap in 2021 has expanded to an amazing 15.51 years old.

After the report was published, it attracted the attention of some media and research institutions. According to the website of Princeton University, this is one of the first research on the decline of the expected life expectancy from 2020 to 2021, although most of the 2021 time has been available for vaccines. "Our research results highlights the incomparable burden of the epidemic to low -income people and colored races.

Jefferson Public Radio on the 10th published on the 10th, saying that Till Von Wachter, a professor of economics at the University of California Los Angeles, said: "Our discovery is another disturbing sign, indicating that it indicates that it means The influence of the new crowns is not felt in equal in all communities.

The expectations of Latin and black populations have declined sharply, reflecting that they are more likely to be exposed in the environment of infection with new crown virus. Researchers say they are more likely to engage in front -line work and rely on public transportation and housing, which increases the risk of contact, and they are more likely to encounter medical barriers.

It is reported that in the United States, the expected life span has been fully proven due to different changes in the community and income. California data shows that Latin people account for 46%of the number of new crowns and 43%of the number of deaths, which is much higher than its population ratio. Black people account for 6%of the total population, but account for 7%of the number of deaths.
