There are signs that the worst COVID-19 effects may be easing, while fertility continues its years-long decline.
A sign displayed on Sept. 9, 2022, informs visitors that there is no longer any walk-up testing for COVID-19 at the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium in Anchorage. Demand for such testing dropped last year, in part because of the availability of in-home tests. The state’s annual vital statistics report shows a much lower COVID-19 death toll in 2022 than in 2021.
Meanwhile, overall deaths and death rates declined, while estimated lifespans increased from the previous year, though none of those metrics returned to pre-pandemic level, according to the report. Overall, there were 5,701 total deaths in 2022, fewer than the 6,220 in 2021 but more than in the three years before then.
In 2021, when the delta strain was dominant, Alaska had an age-adjusted COVID death rate of 106.4 per 100,000 people, the statistics showed. That rate dropped significantly to 37.6 per 100,000 people in 2022, coinciding with the mutation from the delta strain to the less-severe omicron strain, the statistics showed.
Alaskans’ average life expectancy in 2022 was calculated at 76.8 years, up from the 2021 rate of 75.4 years. Average lifespans had declined in the years prior; the average calculated at 79.9 years in 2018 bottomed out in 2021, the peak year for the COVID-19 pandemic. That was notably the case for births. There were fewer babies born in 2022 than in the previous year, extending a yearslong downward trend., but they have declined every year since then, according to state records. In 2022, there were 9,361 Alaska babies born, 50 fewer than in 2021, according to the report and 739 fewer than in 2018, according to the report.
