2022 Deaths – All Causes – Male – Ages 40-44 | District Of Columbia, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for men aged 40-44 in District Of Columbia

1. 88 of 88 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 99.99% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is down 24% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 115 of 115 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 27 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 280 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are down 24% 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, 88 of 24,298 men aged 40-44 living in District Of Columbia died from All Causes.

88 ÷ 24,298 = 0.00362 (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 1,438 deaths from All Causes among 303,032 men aged 40-44 living in District Of Columbia in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

1,438 ÷ 303,032 = 0.00475 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

24,298 X 0.00475 = 115 expected deaths

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

88 – 115 = -27

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

88 ÷ 115 = 0.7616

This reveals 27 lives saved and is 76.16% of what we expected (a decrease of 24%) in deaths from All Causes among men aged 40-44 living in District Of Columbia 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):

476 ÷ 153,624 = 0.00310 (5-yr CDR)

24,298(2022 pop) X 0.00310 = 75 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

88 – 75 = 13 or 13 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

88 ÷ 75 = 1.1651 or an increase of 17%

for deaths from All Causes among men aged 40-44 living in District Of Columbia 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

177,922 X 0.00475 = 844 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

564 – 844 = -280 or 280 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

564 ÷ 844 = 0.6666 or a decrease of 33%

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