The worst of the COVID-19 pandemic is behind us. Age-adjusted COVID-19 mortality rates peaked in 2021 at 104.12 per 100 000 population (per 100 000 hereafter) and fell to 44.45 per 100 000 in 2022.1,2 Provisional data suggest that COVID-19 mortality rates in 2023 were below 15.00 per 100 000.2 This progress is welcome but deceptive. The US mortality picture is hardly ideal.

Excess US Deaths Attributable to High All-Cause Mortality Rates Among Youths Aged 0 to 19 Years The literature documents a long-standing health disadvantage in the US relative to other high-income countries,1,2 with excess deaths due in part to disproportionately high mortality rates. Few studies3 have quantified the number of excess deaths that have occurred among US infants, children, and adolescents, and none based on mortality data from recent years.

Abstract Objectives: To document the evolution of the US life expectancy disadvantage and regional variation across the US states. Methods: I obtained life expectancy estimates in 2022 from the United Nations, the Human Mortality Database, and the US Mortality Database, and calculated changes in growth rates, US global position (rank), and state-level trends.
