Global life expectancy fell by 1.6 years between 2019 and 2021 as COVID-19 emerged as the second-leading cause of age-standardised death rates worldwide.
Using the cause of death ensemble model across 204 countries, COVID-19 caused 94.0 deaths per 100,000 in 2021, shifting stroke to the third-leading cause.
Decomposition of life expectancy highlights geographic concentration across 53 causes of death, supporting targeted resource delivery in high-burden areas.
