Medical journal study says life expectancy for California’s Latinos fell six years, more than other populations during pandemic.
Racial and economic health disparities exposed by the pandemic have factored into a widening gap in Californians’ life expectancies, according toResearchers found that between 2019 and 2021, the life expectancy for Latino Californians fell by almost six years — from 82.5 years to 76.8. That plunge is twice the average decline of about three years for all Californians and three times more than the decrease for white Californians of close to two years.
Life expectancy is a hypothetical measure of how long those born in a specific year will live based on that year’s mortality rates. It is not a measure of actual life spans, but researchers use it to understand loss of life within various populations, according to the California Policy Lab.
