2022 Deaths – All Causes – Female – All Ages | Colorado, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for women of all ages in Colorado

1. 21,838 of 21,838 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 19% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 18,303 of 18,303 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 3,535 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 14,112 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 19% 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 of all ages 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, 21,838 of 2,818,120 women of all ages living in Colorado died from All Causes.

21,838 ÷ 2,818,120 = 0.00775 (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 228,616 deaths from All Causes among 35,199,595 women of all ages living in Colorado in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

228,616 ÷ 35,199,595 = 0.00649 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

2,818,120 X 0.00649 = 18,303 expected deaths

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

21,838 – 18,303 = 3,535

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

21,838 ÷ 18,303 = 1.1913

This reveals 3,535 lives lost and is 119.13% of what we expected (an increase of 19%) in deaths from All Causes among women of all ages living in Colorado 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):

134,841 ÷ 19,132,660 = 0.00705 (5-yr CDR)

2,818,120(2022 pop) X 0.00705 = 19,861 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

21,838 – 19,861 = 1,977 or 1,977 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

21,838 ÷ 19,861 = 1.0980 or an increase of 10%

for deaths from All Causes among women of all ages living in Colorado 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

21,950,780 X 0.00649 = 142,567 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

156679 – 142,567 = 14,112 or 14,112 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

156,679 ÷ 142,567 = 1.0973 or an increase of 10%

in deaths from All Causes among women of all ages living in Colorado in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
