2022 Deaths – All Causes – Female – Ages 45-49 | Alabama, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for women aged 45-49 in Alabama

1. 667 of 667 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 20% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 556 of 556 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 111 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 467 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 20% 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 45-49 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, 667 of 152,020 women aged 45-49 living in Alabama died from All Causes.

667 ÷ 152,020 = 0.00439 (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 9,436 deaths from All Causes among 2,578,576 women aged 45-49 living in Alabama in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

9,436 ÷ 2,578,576 = 0.00366 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

152,020 X 0.00366 = 556 expected deaths

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

667 – 556 = 111

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

667 ÷ 556 = 1.1957

This reveals 111 lives lost and is 119.57% of what we expected (an increase of 20%) in deaths from All Causes among women aged 45-49 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):

4,423 ÷ 1,111,227 = 0.00398 (5-yr CDR)

152,020(2022 pop) X 0.00398 = 605 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

667 – 605 = 62 or 62 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

667 ÷ 605 = 1.0996 or an increase of 10%

for deaths from All Causes among women aged 45-49 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

1,263,247 X 0.00366 = 4,623 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

5090 – 4,623 = 467 or 467 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

5,090 ÷ 4,623 = 1.0981 or an increase of 10%

in deaths from All Causes among women aged 45-49 living in Alabama in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
