It peaked in 2014, just shy of 79 years.  <\/p>\n<p>It was relatively flat for several years before plunging as <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/feature\/coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">the COVID-19 pandemic<\/a><\/span> killed more than 1.2 million Americans. In 2021, life expectancy fell to just under 76 1\/2 years. It has been rebounding since. <\/p>\n<p>The data reflect not only a complete turnaround from the pandemic but also a lasting improvement in the drug overdose epidemic, said Andrew Stokes, a researcher at Boston University. <\/p>\n<p>The bad news is that the U.S. still ranks below dozens of other countries, Stokes noted. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot more to be done,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n<p>In 2024, about 3.07 million U.S. residents died, about 18,000 fewer than the year before. Death rates declined across all racial and ethnic groups, and in both men and women.<\/p>\n<p>The infant mortality rate didn&#8217;t change significantly from 2023, when there were 560.2 infant deaths per 100,000 live births, to 2024,ewhen there were 552.5.  \u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Heart disease remained the nation&#8217;s leading cause of death, but the death rate due to it dropped by about 3% for the second year in a row. A combination of factors are likely at play, including advances in medical treatments and weight management, said Dr. Sadiya Khan, who treats and studies heart disease at Northwestern University. <\/p>\n<p>Deaths from unintentional injuries &#8211; a category that includes drug overdoses &#8211; fell the most, dropping more than 14% in 2024. COVID-19, which only a few years ago was the nation&#8217;s No. 3 killer, in 2024 dropped out of the top 10.  <\/p>\n<p>COVID-19&#8217;s fall meant suicide moved into the top 10, even though suicides in 2024 declined. Homicides fell that year, too, this week&#8217;s report said. <\/p>\n<p>Deaths statistics for 2025 aren&#8217;t finalized, but preliminary data suggest around 3.05 million deaths have been recorded. That number may grow as more death certificates are rounded up and analyzed, but Anderson said he expects last year will end up at least a slight improvement over 2024.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"component__item-recirc-block\">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">Go deeper with The Free Press<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><br \/>\n    <\/section>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/life-expectancy-us-record-high-79-2024-cdc\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. life expectancy rose to 79 years in 2024 &#8211; the highest mark in American history.
