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

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

1. 274 of 274 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 15% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 239 of 239 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 35 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 152 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 15% 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 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, 274 of 43,596 men aged 50-54 living in Hawaii died from All Causes.

274 ÷ 43,596 = 0.00628 (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 3,806 deaths from All Causes among 695,440 men aged 50-54 living in Hawaii in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

3,806 ÷ 695,440 = 0.00547 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

43,596 X 0.00547 = 239 expected deaths

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

274 – 239 = 35

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

274 ÷ 239 = 1.1463

This reveals 35 lives lost and is 114.63% of what we expected (an increase of 15%) in deaths from All Causes among men 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):

1,772 ÷ 302,398 = 0.00586 (5-yr CDR)

43,596(2022 pop) X 0.00586 = 255 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

274 – 255 = 19 or 19 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

274 ÷ 255 = 1.0707 or an increase of 7%

for deaths from All Causes among men 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

345,994 X 0.00547 = 1,894 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

2046 – 1,894 = 152 or 152 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

2,046 ÷ 1,894 = 1.0785 or an increase of 8%

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