Abstract

We use a Bayesian spatio-temporal model, first to smooth small-area initial life expectancy estimates in Barcelona for 2020, and second to predict what small-area life expectancy would have been in 2020 in absence of covid-19 using mortality data from 2007 to 2019. This allows us to estimate and map the small-area life expectancy loss, which can be used to assess how the impact of covid-19 varies spatially, and to explore whether that loss relates to underlying factors, such as population density, educational level, or proportion of older individuals living alone. We find that the small-area life expectancy loss for men and for women have similar distributions, and are spatially uncorrelated but positively correlated with population density and among themselves. On average, we estimate that the life expectancy loss in Barcelona in 2020 was of 2.01 years for men, falling back to 2011 levels, and of 2.11 years for women, falling back to 2006 levels.
