A recent study published in The Lancet journal has revealed significant findings regarding global health trends, particularly in relation to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study indicates that life expectancy increased globally as major causes of death such as heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and lower respiratory infections were addressed. However, the progress in life expectancy was notably slowed down due to poor pandemic management. The research highlights that COVID-19 became the second-leading cause of death globally in 2021, with a mortality rate of 94 deaths per one lakh population, resulting in a decrease in life expectancy by 1.6 years. Furthermore, a 'Silent Pandemic' has surged to become the third-fastest growing cause of death globally. This shift in global health trends marks a significant departure from the unchanged top causes of death since 1990, except for the two years affected by the pandemic.
