2022 Deaths – All Causes – Both Sexes – Ages 60-64 | Arkansas, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for people aged 60-64 in Arkansas

1. 3,187 of 3,187 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 22% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 2,615 of 2,615 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 572 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 2,785 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 22% 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 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, 3,187 of 191,659 people aged 60-64 living in Arkansas died from All Causes.

3,187 ÷ 191,659 = 0.01663 (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 30,535 deaths from All Causes among 2,238,197 people aged 60-64 living in Arkansas in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

30,535 ÷ 2,238,197 = 0.01364 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

191,659 X 0.01364 = 2,615 expected deaths

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

3,187 – 2,615 = 572

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

3,187 ÷ 2,615 = 1.2180

This reveals 572 lives lost and is 121.80% of what we expected (an increase of 22%) in deaths from All Causes among people aged 60-64 living in Arkansas 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):

19,932 ÷ 1,298,846 = 0.01535 (5-yr CDR)

191,659(2022 pop) X 0.01535 = 2,941 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

3,187 – 2,941 = 246 or 246 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

3,187 ÷ 2,941 = 1.0829 or an increase of 8%

for deaths from All Causes among people aged 60-64 living in Arkansas 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

1,490,505 X 0.01364 = 20,334 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

23119 – 20,334 = 2,785 or 2,785 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

23,119 ÷ 20,334 = 1.1361 or an increase of 14%

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