ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To analyse the trend in life expectancy (LE), healthy life expectancy (HLE) and socio-economic inequalities by neighbourhood in Barcelona from the pre-pandemic period (2018-2019) to the pandemic period (2020-2021).

METHOD:

LE and HLE at birth were computed using the municipal register of inhabitants and quality of life (EuroQol) from the Barcelona Health Survey of 2016. Inequalities were assessed with the gap between quantiles of neighbourhood income.

RESULTS:

In 2020, there was a reduction in LE among men (-1.98 years) and women (-2.44) and in HLE among men (-1.44). Socio-economic inequalities in LE and HLE between neighbourhoods widened since 2019 to 2021 (LE from 3.92 to 4.86 years for men, and from 1.30 to 3.60 for women; HLE from 6.88 to 7.70 years for men, and from 7.85 to 9.31 for women).

CONCLUSIONS:

The pandemic has substantially reduced LE and HLE, with larger effects among low-income neighbourhoods, especially among women.
