From 2019 to 2021 life expectancy at birth in the United States (US) declined by approximately 2.45 years to values not seen since 1996. Complete life tables for 2019 to 2022 were constructed for the total US population, females, and males using mortality data from the CDC WONDER Multiple Cause of Death database and Census Bureau Vintage population estimates. Life expectancy at birth increased by 1.07 years between 2021 and 2022. Nearly 40% of lost life expectancy years at birth were regained in 2022.
