2022 Deaths – All Causes – Female – 50-54 | New York, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for women aged 50-54 in New York

1. 1,943 of 1,943 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is down 8% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 2,101 of 2,101 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 158 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 1,007 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are down 8% compared to Old Normal rates, we need to calculate the rates for both 2022 and for the Old Normal.

Remember, death rates are calculated to answer these questions:

• “How many women aged 50-54 were there?” and
• “How many of them died from All Causes?”

The following 2 charts provide this information:

From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 1,943 of 636,545 women aged 50-54 living in New York died from All Causes.

1,943 ÷ 636,545 = 0.00305 (2022 CDR)

We’ll use the table below to calculate our Old Normal rate for deaths from All Causes

The table shows there were a total of 34,534 deaths from All Causes among 10,461,342 women aged 50-54 living in New York in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

34,534 ÷ 10,461,342 = 0.00330 (Old Normal CDR)

We can use the Old Normal rate to predict this year’s deaths:

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

636,545 X 0.00330 = 2,101 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths shows lives saved or lost:

1,943 – 2,101 = -158

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths gives us the comparative rates:

1,943 ÷ 2,101 = 0.9219

This reveals 158 lives saved and is 92.19% of what we expected (a decrease of 8%) in deaths from All Causes among women aged 50-54 living in New York in 2022, as compared to the Old Normal.

This is the same method used by Public Health to calculate the 5-yr CDR (Cumulative Death Rate):

14,973 ÷ 4,792,797 = 0.00312 (5-yr CDR)

636,545(2022 pop) X 0.00312 = 1,989 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

1,943 – 1,989 = -46 or 46 lives saved

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

1,943 ÷ 1,989 = 0.9739 or a decrease of 3%

for deaths from All Causes among women aged 50-54 living in New York in 2022, as compared to the previous 5 years.

Compare our Old Normal to the 5yr CDR. Does it tell the same story your TV does?

Finally, the same method can also be used to compare our Old Normal rate to the New Normal™ rate:

New Normal™ population X Old Normal rate = expected deaths

5,429,342 X 0.00330 = 17,923 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

16916 – 17,923 = -1,007 or 1,007 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

16,916 ÷ 17,923 = 0.9410 or a decrease of 6%

in deaths from All Causes among women aged 50-54 living in New York in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
