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

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

1. 6,969 of 6,969 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is down 5% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 7,292 of 7,292 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 323 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 470 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are down 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 men 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, 6,969 of 726,168 men aged 55-59 living in Florida died from All Causes.

6,969 ÷ 726,168 = 0.00960 (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 79,870 deaths from All Causes among 7,954,280 men aged 55-59 living in Florida in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

79,870 ÷ 7,954,280 = 0.01004 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

726,168 X 0.01004 = 7,292 expected deaths

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

6,969 – 7,292 = -323

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

6,969 ÷ 7,292 = 0.9548

This reveals 323 lives saved and is 95.48% of what we expected (a decrease of 5%) in deaths from All Causes among men 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):

50,089 ÷ 4,909,465 = 0.01020 (5-yr CDR)

726,168(2022 pop) X 0.01020 = 7,409 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

6,969 – 7,409 = -440 or 440 lives saved

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

6,969 ÷ 7,409 = 0.9397 or a decrease of 6%

for deaths from All Causes among men 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

5,635,633 X 0.01004 = 56,588 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

57058 – 56,588 = 470 or 470 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

57,058 ÷ 56,588 = 1.0073 or an increase of 1%

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