A new report from the National Center for Health Statistics shows the life expectancy for Americans deceased between 2019 and 2020.
For Hispanics and African Americans, research is particularly grim.
Between 2019 and 2020, life expectancy decreased by 3 years for the Hispanic population, 2.9 years for African Americans, and 1.2 years for white Americans.
In 2020, the Hispanic population had a life expectancy advantage of 1.2 years over the non-Hispanic white population, declining from an advantage of 3 years in 2019.
The Hispanic advantage relative to the non-Hispanic Black population decreased from 7.1 to 7.0 years between 2019 and 2020, researchers found.
