2022 Deaths – All Causes – Baby Boy – Under 1 | Florida, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for baby boys in their first year of life in Florida

1. 732 of 732 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is down 16% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 874 of 874 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 142 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 1,026 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are down 16% 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 baby boys in their first year of life 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, 732 of 112,980 baby boys in their first year of life living in Florida died from All Causes.

732 ÷ 112,980 = 0.00648 (2022 CDR)

The table shows there were a total of 12,545 deaths from All Causes among 1,621,231 baby boys in their first year of life living in Florida in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

12,545 ÷ 1,621,231 = 0.00774 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

112,980 X 0.00774 = 874 expected deaths

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

732 – 874 = -142

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

732 ÷ 874 = 0.8362

This reveals 142 lives saved and is 83.62% of what we expected (a decrease of 16%) in deaths from All Causes among baby boys in their first year of life 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):

5,221 ÷ 788,888 = 0.00662 (5-yr CDR)

112,980(2022 pop) X 0.00662 = 748 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

732 – 748 = -16 or 16 lives saved

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

732 ÷ 748 = 0.9775 or a decrease of 2%

for deaths from All Causes among baby boys in their first year of life 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

901,868 X 0.00774 = 6,979 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

5953 – 6,979 = -1,026 or 1,026 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

5,953 ÷ 6,979 = 0.8519 or a decrease of 15%

in deaths from All Causes among baby boys in their first year of life living in Florida in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
