2022 Deaths – All Causes – Male – Ages 40-44 | Connecticut, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for men aged 40-44 in Connecticut

1. 356 of 356 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 41% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 252 of 252 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 104 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 464 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 41% 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 aged 40-44 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, 356 of 111,284 men aged 40-44 living in Connecticut died from All Causes.

356 ÷ 111,284 = 0.00320 (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 4,558 deaths from All Causes among 2,011,394 men aged 40-44 living in Connecticut in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

4,558 ÷ 2,011,394 = 0.00227 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

111,284 X 0.00227 = 252 expected deaths

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

356 – 252 = 104

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

356 ÷ 252 = 1.4055

This reveals 104 lives lost and is 140.55% of what we expected (an increase of 41%) in deaths from All Causes among men aged 40-44 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):

2,001 ÷ 724,048 = 0.00276 (5-yr CDR)

111,284(2022 pop) X 0.00276 = 308 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

356 – 308 = 48 or 48 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

356 ÷ 308 = 1.1534 or an increase of 15%

for deaths from All Causes among men aged 40-44 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

835,332 X 0.00227 = 1,893 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

2357 – 1,893 = 464 or 464 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

2,357 ÷ 1,893 = 1.2397 or an increase of 24%

in deaths from All Causes among men aged 40-44 living in Connecticut in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
