2022 Deaths – All Causes – Both Sexes – Ages 45-49 | California, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for people aged 45-49 in California

1. 7,176 of 7,176 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 4% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 6,894 of 6,894 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 282 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 3,999 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 4% 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 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, 7,176 of 2,398,337 people aged 45-49 living in California died from All Causes.

7,176 ÷ 2,398,337 = 0.00299 (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 111,587 deaths from All Causes among 38,820,180 people aged 45-49 living in California in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

111,587 ÷ 38,820,180 = 0.00287 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

2,398,337 X 0.00287 = 6,894 expected deaths

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

7,176 – 6,894 = 282

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

7,176 ÷ 6,894 = 1.0373

This reveals 282 lives lost and is 103.73% of what we expected (an increase of 4%) in deaths from All Causes among people aged 45-49 living in California 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):

46,838 ÷ 17,783,805 = 0.00263 (5-yr CDR)

2,398,337(2022 pop) X 0.00263 = 6,317 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

7,176 – 6,317 = 859 or 859 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

7,176 ÷ 6,317 = 1.1318 or an increase of 13%

for deaths from All Causes among people aged 45-49 living in California 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

20,182,142 X 0.00287 = 58,013 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

54014 – 58,013 = -3,999 or 3,999 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

54,014 ÷ 58,013 = 0.9278 or a decrease of 7%

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