Life expectancy (LE) is an objective and highly reliable marker for events affecting demography. Analysing LE changes during the Covid pandemic shows widely different situations in a sample of 29 countries, highlighting comparatively efficient management in most Western European countries, in contrast to catastrophic results in Eastern Europe and in the United States. Loss of LE is also inversely correlated with vaccination uptake, confirming the efficacy of vaccines at the population level.

Individuals with severe mental illness (SMI) have a shorter life expectancy compared to the general population, largely due to cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this report from the Fixed Dose Intervention Trial of New England Enhancing Survival in SMI Patients (FITNESS), we examined baseline CVD risk factors and their treatment in patients with SMI and second generation antipsychotic (SGA) use. FITNESS enrolled 204 participants with SMI and SGA use, but without documented history of CVD or diabetes mellitus, from several clinics in the Boston, Massachusetts, area between April 29, 2015, and September 26, 2019.
