2022 Deaths – All Causes – Female – Ages 60-64 | Arizona, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for women aged 60-64 in Arizona

1. 2,060 of 2,060 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 18% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 1,742 of 1,742 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 318 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 1,096 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 18% 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 60-64 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, 2,060 of 229,568 women aged 60-64 living in Arizona died from All Causes.

2,060 ÷ 229,568 = 0.00897 (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 17,900 deaths from All Causes among 2,359,392 women aged 60-64 living in Arizona in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

17,900 ÷ 2,359,392 = 0.00759 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

229,568 X 0.00759 = 1,742 expected deaths

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

2,060 – 1,742 = 318

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

2,060 ÷ 1,742 = 1.1812

This reveals 318 lives lost and is 118.12% of what we expected (an increase of 18%) in deaths from All Causes among women aged 60-64 living in Arizona 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):

12,588 ÷ 1,556,736 = 0.00809 (5-yr CDR)

229,568(2022 pop) X 0.00809 = 1,856 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

2,060 – 1,856 = 204 or 204 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

2,060 ÷ 1,856 = 1.1084 or an increase of 11%

for deaths from All Causes among women aged 60-64 living in Arizona 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

1,786,304 X 0.00759 = 13,552 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

14648 – 13,552 = 1,096 or 1,096 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

14,648 ÷ 13,552 = 1.0794 or an increase of 8%

in deaths from All Causes among women aged 60-64 living in Arizona in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
