LifeExpect life expectancy, death rates, years of healthy life LifeExpect.UT_USSexYear Life expectancy is an estimate of the expected average number of years of life (or a person's age at death) for individuals who were born into a particular population. The method developed by C.L. Chiang was used to compute life expectancy. n/a n/a The method developed by C.L. Chiang was used to compute life expectancy. Life expectancy at birth is strongly influenced by infant and child mortality; life expectancy later in life reflects death rates at or above a given age and is independent of mortality at younger ages. 10/04/2024 Life expectancy is a measure that is often used to gauge the overall health of a community. Life expectancy at birth measures health status across all age groups. Shifts in life expectancy are often used to describe trends in mortality. Being able to predict how populations will age has enormous implications for the planning and provision of services and support. Small increases in life expectancy translate into large increases in the population. As the life expectancy of a population lengthens, the number of people living with chronic illnesses tends to increase because chronic illnesses are more common among older persons. One of Utah's 42 Community Health Status Indicators One of the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) Chronic Disease Indicators: "Life Expectancy at Birth" Prevention and control of infectious diseases have had a profound impact on life expectancy during the 20th century. Improvements in nutrition, hygiene, and medical care also contributed to decreases in death rates throughout the lifespan. In the U.S., life expectancy at birth from 1900 to 2022 increased from 46.3 to 74.8 years for men, and from 48.3 to 80.2 years for women. However, with the outbreak of COVID-19, life expectancy in the U.S. decreased in 2021 to 76.4, declining by over two years from 78.8 in 2019. This same trend was seen in Utah. In 2020 and 2021, Utah life expectancy at birth were 78.9 years and 78.4 respectively, declining by 1.2 and 1.7 years from 80.1 in 2019. In Utah, the life expectancy rate increased back to 80.1 in 2023, which is the same as what it was in 2019. Women typically outlive men. Females born in Utah today can expect to live 82.1 years, and males born in Utah can expect to live 78.2 years. This becomes evident in later years as individuals survive from their early sixties into their eighties and older. The population of Utahns aged 65+ was 53% female and 47% male according to the 2023 population estimate IBIS version 2023. Now that people are living longer, it is important to look at ways that those added years can be lived in good health. Exercise, healthy diet and weight, not smoking, moderate use of alcohol, and injury prevention habits such as wearing seat belts all contribute to a healthy life span. Improvements in life expectancy increase the proportion of older individuals living in society. Policy-makers must be aware of this trend in order to provide viable and attractive options for elderly persons who require assistance with activities of daily living.
