A new report from the CDC published Wednesday found life expectancy in the U.S. increased to 77.5 years in 2022 due to fewer deaths linked to COVID-19.
Life expectancy rose from 76.4 in 2021 to 77.5 in 2022, the report found.
ABC News’ Phil Lipof spoke with Dan Buettner, National Geographic Explorer and author of “Blue Zones: Secrets for Living Longer,” about how certain lifestyles can be reverse engineered for long life.
