Deaths in the U.S. rose 19% from 2019 to 2020 — the largest jump in a century. Life expectancy was lowest in Southern states in 2020, including Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee and West Virginia. That was most likely due to Covid deaths, according to Dr. Robert Anderson, chief of mortality statistics at NCHS, who reviewed the report.

I always found “life expectancy” to be a challenging construct to convey.
I think the challenge is I see this as a population-based statistic that may or may not be applied to any one person, yet I see people do this regularly.
As such I find it helpful professionally relates to policy and pragmatism yet not helpful at a personal level.
Just my James Joyce stream of thinking out loud.
Be mindful, be active, be well,

Ed, 


When someone loses a key necessary to get home on a dark night, they often start looking under the street light nearby, because that is where they can see.  Historically, life expectancy was the best data we had because of mandatory death records.  It is an antiquated artifact for measuring personal health status.  

Humans are very patterned animals.  They often maintain patterns far beyond their utility, even when they are life threatening.  So it is with social conventions and life expectancy, when we now have far better measures of personal health risks and contributors to personal life expectancy, morbidity, quality of life and functional life capacity.  That said, epidemiology and population health trends with strong underlying science base and evidence is not irrelevant to personal health, especially when additional personalized medical evidence is added to localize and customize their situational awareness of their own personal health status to inform their decision making.

Agreed, I guess when I look at my personal health, I discount much of the average life expectancy ( I don’t smoke, etc.,) and look closer to personal and family history.
That being said I also do not experience many of the adverse determinants of health, so I do find the data very helpful at populations down to hyper local and the individuals in those communities.
