The Office for National Statistics (ONS) in the UK estimates that the age of men in the country has dropped for the first time in 40 years.
In the last three years, the life expectancy for men at birth by 2020 was 79 years, which was last seen in 2012-14, while the life expectancy of women was almost 83 years.
In general, the last decades have seen an increase in the life expectancy of people in the UK and around the world, and a decrease has been rare.
According to research from Oxford University, Code 19 is expected to reduce life expectancy in 2020 in most parts of Europe and the United States, which was previously only seen during World War II.
Experts say it could decline further next year or so, and then show signs of aging again.
But the question here is what will happen in the long run as the effects of the health care disruption become clear.
Death toll
Life expectancy at birth in the UK was rising before the outbreak of the cod epidemic, although this was a much slower rate since 2011 than in previous decades.
But new figures show that between 2015-17 and 2018-20, men's life expectancy fell by seven weeks, the first such decline since 1980.
Despite all this, these are just life expectancy data called 'period life expectancy' and do not predict actual age.
Instead, it estimates the average age of a newborn and is based on current mortality rates.
And since cod mortality is unlikely to continue for a long time, these new estimates do not mean that the life of a child born in 2020 will be shorter than that of a child born in 2019.
But they do provide a glimpse of the effects of epidemics that can be compared between different countries and different populations over time.
Looking at 2020 itself instead of the three-year average age, the ONS found that the life expectancy of men decreased by 1.2 years and the age of women by 0.9, reflecting more deaths from code 19 in men. Is.
