The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on global life expectancy trends in recent years. The direct impact of the virus itself has led to a substantial increase in mortality rates, particularly among older populations and those with underlying health conditions. The pandemic has overwhelmed healthcare systems in many countries, leading to disruptions in routine healthcare services and delays in medical treatments for other conditions. Indirectly, the economic repercussions of the pandemic, such as job losses, poverty, and mental health challenges, have also affected overall well-being and life expectancy. The long-term consequences of the pandemic on healthcare systems, public health policies, and societal norms are likely to shape global life expectancy trends for years to come.
