Life expectancy for people in the US fell again in 2021, to 76.1 years, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data released Wednesday. It's the second drop in a row, since 2020 -- the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic -- saw the average US lifespan decrease by 1.8 years to age 77.
Life expectancy, a metric used when looking at population health and well-being, refers to the expected average number of years of life remaining for a person at a given age -- in this case at birth.
COVID-19 deaths contributed to half of the overall decline in life expectancy last year, data showed, with drug overdoses (which come under the "unintentional injuries" classification) and heart disease among the other major contributors.
The 2021 decline of nearly a year puts US life expectancy at its lowest level since 1996, the CDC noted. There's also a nearly six-year difference between genders -- male life expectancy is 73.2 years, and females are given an average of 79.1 years.
The situation might improve this year, Robert Anderson, chief of mortality statistics at CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, told Reuters.
"Mortality's been a little better in 2022 than it was in 2020, so I think it's likely that we would see maybe a slight increase in life expectancy," he said, but warned that 2022 lifespans are unlikely to return to pre-pandemic levels.

This Snazzy Lil' Air Fryer Is Just $39 (Save $20)
There's a lot to love about air fryers. I use mine all the time for quick dinners and fast snacks without the need for much or any cooking oil. There's also no better way to reheat leftover pizza.
Don't believe me? Snag this compact Chefman air fryer on sale for $39 at HomeGoods and find out for yourself. (The same model is selling for $97 on Amazon.)
The one drawback to buying a new air fryer (or any kitchen appliance) is finding space for it, but this 3.5-liter model is small enough that it won't hog all the counter space. You can find even smaller models if you so desire. I love the Magic Bullet 2-quart oven, which packs a lot of power and has plenty of capacity to cook for one or two.
But this discounted Chefman 3.5-liter air fryer is a better pick if you're often cooking for a small group or like to host friends for drinks and snacks on occasion. This model sports a digital touch display, a nonstick cooking basket and a sleek glossy finish.

Royal Caribbean Group has announced it will be implementing internet connectivity on board its cruise ships using Elon Musk's SpaceX Starlink service.
The high-speed broadband service will be installed on all ships across the Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises and Silversea Cruises brands. Installation will begin "immediately," Royal Caribbean said Tuesday, and should be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2023.
"This technology ... will improve and enable more high-bandwidth activities like video streaming as well as activities like video calls," Jason Liberty, Royal Caribbean Group CEO, said in a statement.
Starlink uses more than 2,000 satellites orbiting in space to beam satellite internet connectivity around the world. Starlink is now available in more than 40 countries.

Drones, eco travel and more at the Gadget Show Live 2014
Drones, eco travel and more at the Gadget Show Live 2014
Andrew Hoyle/CNET
The Gadget Show Live is the UK's largest consumer technology showcase, where all manner of tech brands get together to show off their latest bits of kit. Held in Birmingham, the sparkling jewel of the Midlands, the show plays host to well-know brands like Sony and Samsung, along with a wealth of up and coming names. I hopped on a train to see what was on show.
Along with a slew of phone and tablet accessories, the show features new products from all categories. Music fans are well catered for, with headphones and speakers from Bowers and Wilkins, Pioneer, Libratone and audio streaming speakers from Musaic. Roland were there showing off their latest digital drum kit, the TD30K, which has hundreds of drum sounds on board recorded from actual drum kits to give a more realistic sound reproduction.
DJI's new Phantom 2 Vision+ led the charge in camera-equipped drones. Unveiled only last week, this quadrocopter has a built-in camera with stabiliser for smooth video from the air. It's incredibly easy to fly too, but it will set you back around £900. Parrot's AR Drone 2 comes in at around £350 and can be controlled from your iPhone.
Eco travel was a big theme from the show this year, with electric scooters, electric cars and a solar powered concept car from Cambridge University making appearances. Only 200 of Volkswagen's futuristic-looking XL1 cars will be made -- and will sell for £111,000 -- but their hybrid engines can achieve an astonishing 313 miles to the gallon. Can you afford not to get one? Yes, probably.
So is the Gadget Show Live worth attending? If you're a keen gadget nerd, then absolutely. Apart from getting up close and personal with the latest kit such as the Sony Xperia Z2 -- which is yet to even hit the shops -- you'll see a whole array of top-end gaming chairs, remote control cars, actual cars, headphones and loads of stuff that you wouldn't find in your typical branch of Currys.

Intel Has More Women in Tech Than Ever, But the Percentage Still Dropped
Intel Has More Women in Tech Than Ever, But the Percentage Still Dropped
New diversity and inclusion figures from Intel, out Thursday, show the company's going to need to make some tweaks to keep the percentages of groups typically underrepresented in the industry climbing.
The percentage of women in technical roles slid from 25.2% to 24.3% between 2020 and 2021. It's not the direction the company is hoping for given the goal it set in 2020 to get women into 40% of technical roles by 2030. Tech giants like Google (25.7%), Facebook (24.8%), Apple (24.4%) and others have long struggled to hit 30% women in tech roles.
But according to Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer Dawn Jones, the slide is prompting Intel to examine what's behind the decline. For the first time since Intel started releasing numbers in 2015, the company included the raw numbers of women in its workforce. There are 26,000 women in tech roles at Intel, the most in the company's history. After a period of heavy hiring last year, though, the percentage took a hit, she said.
"We have to look at that hiring pool more intentionally," Jones said. "Is it that we are not getting the resumes? Is it that we're not getting the interest? And if we're not getting the interest, why? These are questions that we ask. Is [it] the culture? Is it a flexibility issue? Is it a location issue?"
The company is also setting the goal of making sure hiring for women in tech roles sits at 30% at least in 2022, and tying it to annual performance bonuses, a move Intel has used in the past to try to spur diversity.
Intel's diversity and inclusion numbers are part of its larger annual Corporate Responsibility Report, which covers additional topics like the company's sustainability and education efforts. For example, Intel is committing to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. It's also putting $100 million in the next decade toward research and education partnerships relating to semiconductor manufacturing.
Many big name tech companies like Google and Facebook started publishing diversity figures around 2014 as the industry began to face scrutiny over its demographic makeup. The reports confirmed what was already obvious -- tech is largely white and male.
Since 2015, Intel's been something of a rarity in terms of publicly committing to goals around diversity and inclusion. In 2018, it reached its goal of hitting full representation of women and minorities in its US workforce (compared to broader US tech industry) two years ahead of schedule. In 2019, the company said it closed its pay gap.
In 2020, Intel set new goals, including putting women in 40% of technical roles by 2030 and doubling the numbers of women and underrepresented minorities in senior roles in the same time frame.
Overall, the number of women at Intel decreased from 26.3% in 2020 to 25.8%. Intel is 44.1% white, down from 45.8% the previous year. Several underrepresented minority groups saw losses – Hispanic employees fell from 10.5% to 9.3%; Black employees dropped from 5% to 4.9%; Asian employees also declined from 37.6% to 36.3%. The percentage of Pacific Islanders stayed flat at .4% and Native American employees gained some ground at .9%, up from .8%.
Jones did point out the addition of two new population categories, giving folks the ability to identify as "other" or "two or more ethnicities," which may have contributed to differences in the racial and ethnic breakdowns.
Intel also hit a new high in terms of the number of women in leadership roles, having 1,449 total, but again the percentage still fell slightly from 18.8% to 18.7%
In terms of pay, women in the US earned as much or slightly more than their male counterparts at Intel.
Jones also talked about how Intel is trying to respond to the broader moment -- the combination of the coronavirus pandemic, which reports say has throttled women's careers and the Great Resignation. In March, 4.5 million people quit their jobs.
As people are leaving their jobs in search of better opportunities, Jones said Intel is paying attention to why. Intel is hoping, for one, that the embrace of hybrid workplaces will help bring more women and underrepresented minorities into the fold. Initiatives like its Returnship Program, which aims to get women who have left the workforce for a while back, could potentially also help.
"Money is a factor, but generally, it's not the only factor or even the driving factor," Jones said. "It's 'I don't feel valued and I'm not getting money. So, let me go find a place that is giving me all of these things.'"
