2022 Deaths – All Causes – Female – Ages 50-54 | Hawaii, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for women aged 50-54 in Hawaii

1. 160 of 160 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 99.99% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 22% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 131 of 131 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 29 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 45 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 22% 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 50-54 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, 160 of 42,695 women aged 50-54 living in Hawaii died from All Causes.

160 ÷ 42,695 = 0.00375 (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 2,133 deaths from All Causes among 694,304 women aged 50-54 living in Hawaii in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

2,133 ÷ 694,304 = 0.00307 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

42,695 X 0.00307 = 131 expected deaths

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

160 – 131 = 29

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

160 ÷ 131 = 1.2159

This reveals 29 lives lost and is 121.59% of what we expected (an increase of 22%) in deaths from All Causes among women aged 50-54 living in Hawaii 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):

953 ÷ 304,951 = 0.00313 (5-yr CDR)

42,695(2022 pop) X 0.00313 = 133 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

160 – 133 = 27 or 27 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

160 ÷ 133 = 1.1953 or an increase of 20%

for deaths from All Causes among women aged 50-54 living in Hawaii 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

347,646 X 0.00307 = 1,068 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

1113 – 1,068 = 45 or 45 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

1,113 ÷ 1,068 = 1.0387 or an increase of 4%

in deaths from All Causes among women aged 50-54 living in Hawaii in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
