2022 Deaths – All Causes – Male – Ages 75-79 | Hawaii, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for elderly men aged 75-79 in Hawaii

1. 903 of 903 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is down 10% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 1,008 of 1,008 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 105 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 748 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are down 10% 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 elderly men aged 75-79 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, 903 of 26,112 elderly men aged 75-79 living in Hawaii died from All Causes.

903 ÷ 26,112 = 0.03458 (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 9,007 deaths from All Causes among 233,400 elderly men aged 75-79 living in Hawaii in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

9,007 ÷ 233,400 = 0.03859 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

26,112 X 0.03859 = 1,008 expected deaths

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

903 – 1,008 = -105

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

903 ÷ 1,008 = 0.8959

This reveals 105 lives saved and is 89.59% of what we expected (a decrease of 10%) in deaths from All Causes among elderly men aged 75-79 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):

4,705 ÷ 138,599 = 0.03395 (5-yr CDR)

26,112(2022 pop) X 0.03395 = 886 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

903 – 886 = 17 or 17 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

903 ÷ 886 = 1.0184 or an increase of 2%

for deaths from All Causes among elderly men aged 75-79 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

164,711 X 0.03859 = 6,356 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

5608 – 6,356 = -748 or 748 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

5,608 ÷ 6,356 = 0.8821 or a decrease of 12%

in deaths from All Causes among elderly men aged 75-79 living in Hawaii in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
