2022 Deaths – All Causes – Female – Ages 55-59 | Florida, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for women aged 55-59 in Florida

1. 4,365 of 4,365 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 5% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 4,153 of 4,153 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 212 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 2,314 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 5% 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 aged 55-59 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, 4,365 of 757,142 women aged 55-59 living in Florida died from All Causes.

4,365 ÷ 757,142 = 0.00577 (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 48,286 deaths from All Causes among 8,803,591 women aged 55-59 living in Florida in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

48,286 ÷ 8,803,591 = 0.00548 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

757,142 X 0.00548 = 4,153 expected deaths

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

4,365 – 4,153 = 212

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

4,365 ÷ 4,153 = 1.0492

This reveals 212 lives lost and is 104.92% of what we expected (an increase of 5%) in deaths from All Causes among women aged 55-59 living in Florida 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):

31,190 ÷ 5,303,430 = 0.00588 (5-yr CDR)

757,142(2022 pop) X 0.00588 = 4,453 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

4,365 – 4,453 = -88 or 88 lives saved

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

4,365 ÷ 4,453 = 0.9786 or a decrease of 2%

for deaths from All Causes among women aged 55-59 living in Florida 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

6,060,572 X 0.00548 = 33,241 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

35555 – 33,241 = 2,314 or 2,314 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

35,555 ÷ 33,241 = 1.0677 or an increase of 7%

in deaths from All Causes among women aged 55-59 living in Florida in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
