Xinhua News Agency, London, September 30.
A research team composed of researchers from the University of Oxford and the University of Southern Denmark collected demographic data, official death registration data and death rates of 29 countries in 2020, covering many European countries, the United States, Chile, etc.
The results of the study, published in the new issue of the British International Journal of Epidemiology, show that from 2015 to 2019, life expectancy at birth has increased in all countries
Research also shows that men’s life expectancy has fallen more than women’s in most countries
Researchers said that the last time life expectancy at birth in Spain, the United Kingdom, Italy, Belgium and other countries experienced such a large drop in one year was during World War II
The researchers pointed out that the shortened life expectancy in most countries can be attributed to deaths related to the new crown
According to the new crown epidemic data of Johns Hopkins University in the United States, as of September 30, the cumulative number of deaths from new crowns worldwide has exceeded 4.
