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

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

1. 24,948 of 24,948 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 32% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 18,870 of 18,870 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 6,078 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 29,064 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 32% 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 men 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, 24,948 of 2,932,279 men of all ages living in Colorado died from All Causes.

24,948 ÷ 2,932,279 = 0.00851 (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 231,651 deaths from All Causes among 35,997,544 men of all ages living in Colorado in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

231,651 ÷ 35,997,544 = 0.00644 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

2,932,279 X 0.00644 = 18,870 expected deaths

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

24,948 – 18,870 = 6,078

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

24,948 ÷ 18,870 = 1.3201

This reveals 6,078 lives lost and is 132.01% of what we expected (an increase of 32%) in deaths from All Causes among men 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):

150,210 ÷ 19,770,134 = 0.00760 (5-yr CDR)

2,932,279(2022 pop) X 0.00760 = 22,279 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

24,948 – 22,279 = 2,669 or 2,669 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

24,948 ÷ 22,279 = 1.1183 or an increase of 12%

for deaths from All Causes among men 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

22,702,413 X 0.00644 = 146,094 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

175158 – 146,094 = 29,064 or 29,064 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

175,158 ÷ 146,094 = 1.1971 or an increase of 20%

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