WHO says global life expectancy nears pre-pandemic level
Original: Global life expectancy nears pre-pandemic level, but healthy years lag behind: WHO
The World Health Organization reports that global life expectancy has almost recovered to its pre-pandemic level after the disruption caused by COVID-19. However, the number of years people live in good health, known as healthy life expectancy, has not recovered at the same pace and continues to lag behind. The figures suggest that while people are again living longer on average, more of those years are spent in illness or poor health.
Why now: The WHO has released new global health statistics showing an uneven recovery from the pandemic's impact on life expectancy.
