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. Although life expectancy increased in 2022, the 2019 levels were not regained. Abridged life tables for 2019 to 2023 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 in 2023 increased approximately 1 year compared to 2022. The increase at age 65 was about 0.6 years. The increases in 2022 and 2023 replaced approximately 76% of the pandemic-era declines.
