2022 Deaths – All Causes – Male – Ages 40-44 | Alabama, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for people aged 40-44 in Alabama

1. 1,308 of 1,308 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 30% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 1,001 of 1,001 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 307 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 1,458 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 30% 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 people aged 40-44 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, 1,308 of 310,743 people aged 40-44 living in Alabama died from All Causes.

1,308 ÷ 310,743 = 0.00421 (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 15,857 deaths from All Causes among 4,920,545 people aged 40-44 living in Alabama in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

15,857 ÷ 4,920,545 = 0.00322 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

310,743 X 0.00322 = 1,001 expected deaths

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

1,308 – 1,001 = 307

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

1,308 ÷ 1,001 = 1.3021

This reveals 307 lives lost and is 130.21% of what we expected (an increase of 30%) in deaths from All Causes among people aged 40-44 living in Alabama 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):

7,820 ÷ 2,069,336 = 0.00378 (5-yr CDR)

310,743(2022 pop) X 0.00378 = 1,174 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

1,308 – 1,174 = 134 or 134 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

1,308 ÷ 1,174 = 1.1109 or an increase of 11%

for deaths from All Causes among people aged 40-44 living in Alabama 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

2,380,079 X 0.00322 = 7,670 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

9128 – 7,670 = 1,458 or 1,458 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

9,128 ÷ 7,670 = 1.1864 or an increase of 19%

in deaths from All Causes among people aged 40-44 living in Alabama in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
