纽约市的预期寿命在2023年达到创纪录的83.2岁,高于2022年的82.6岁,超过了2030年的目标,其动力是COVID-19、心脏病和凶杀造成的死亡人数下降。
New York City’s life expectancy reached a record 83.2 years in 2023, up from 82.6 in 2022 and surpassing its 2030 goal, driven by declines in deaths from COVID-19, heart disease, and homicides.
尽管取得了总体进展,但种族差异依然存在,黑人纽约人的平均寿命比白人居民低78岁,比白人居民少5年,原因是婴儿死亡率和与毒品有关的死亡率较高。
Despite overall progress, racial disparities persist, with Black New Yorkers living about 78 years on average—five years less than white residents—due to higher rates of infant mortality and drug-related deaths.
该市的婴儿死亡率下降到每1 000名新生儿死亡4.2人,总体死亡率下降,但仍高于人口流行前水平。
The city’s infant mortality rate dropped to 4.2 per 1,000 births, and the overall death rate declined, though it remains above pre-pandemic levels.
