"Effect on life expectancy of changes in cause-specific mortality

Increases or decreases in life expectancy represent the sum of positive and negative contributions of cause-specific death rates. Declines in cause-specific mortality contribute to increases in life expectancy, while increases contribute to decreases in life expectancy. If the negative contributions (increases in cause-specific death rates) are greater than the positive contributions (decreases in cause- specific deaths rates), then the result is a decline in life expectancy. If negative and positive contributions offset each other, then life expectancy would be unchanged (see Technical Notes for a description of the partitioning method). The increase of 1.1 years in life expectancy from 2021 to 2022 primarily resulted from decreases in mortality due to COVID-19 (84.2% of the positive contribution), heart disease (3.6%), unintentional injuries (2.6%), cancer (2.2%), and homicide (1.5%) (Figure 4). The increase in life expectancy would have been even greater if not for the offsetting effects of increases in mortality due to influenza and pneumonia (25.5%), perinatal conditions (21.5%), kidney disease (13.0%), nutritional deficiencies (12.6%), and congenital malformations (5.9%)."
