2022 Deaths – All Causes – Both Sexes – All Ages | Connecticut, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for individuals of all ages in Connecticut

1. 34,564 of 34,564 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 14% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 30,269 of 30,269 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 4,295 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 30,188 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 14% 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 individuals 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, 34,564 of 3,344,659 individuals of all ages living in Connecticut died from All Causes.

34,564 ÷ 3,344,659 = 0.01033 (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 440,556 deaths from All Causes among 48,680,441 individuals of all ages living in Connecticut in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

440,556 ÷ 48,680,441 = 0.00905 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

3,344,659 X 0.00905 = 30,269 expected deaths

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

34,564 – 30,269 = 4,295

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

34,564 ÷ 30,269 = 1.1406

This reveals 4,295 lives lost and is 114.06% of what we expected (an increase of 14%) in deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in Connecticut 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):

227,372 ÷ 22,262,932 = 0.01021 (5-yr CDR)

3,344,659(2022 pop) X 0.01021 = 34,159 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

34,564 – 34,159 = 405 or 405 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

34,564 ÷ 34,159 = 1.0109 or an increase of 1%

for deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in Connecticut 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

25,607,591 X 0.00905 = 231,748 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

261936 – 231,748 = 30,188 or 30,188 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

261,936 ÷ 231,748 = 1.1290 or an increase of 13%

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