Key Takeaways
The United States experienced modest gains in life expectancy, increasing from 75 years in 1990 to 79 years by 2019. These gains were driven by advancements in medical technology and chronic disease management. However, stagnation and declines to 76 years in 2021 reflect persistent health disparities and the impact of lifestyle-related illnesses, underscoring the need for systemic health reforms.
