2022 Deaths – All Causes – Female – All Ages | Iowa, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for women of all ages in Iowa

1. 16,478 of 16,478 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 5% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 15,737 of 15,737 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 741 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 5,006 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 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 women of all ages 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, 16,478 of 1,542,629 women of all ages living in Iowa died from All Causes.

16,478 ÷ 1,542,629 = 0.01068 (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 218,246 deaths from All Causes among 21,393,073 women of all ages living in Iowa in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

218,246 ÷ 21,393,073 = 0.01020 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

1,542,629 X 0.01020 = 15,737 expected deaths

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

16,478 – 15,737 = 741

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

16,478 ÷ 15,737 = 1.0460

This reveals 741 lives lost and is 104.60% of what we expected (an increase of 5%) in deaths from All Causes among women of all ages living in Iowa 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):

109,564 ÷ 10,321,698 = 0.01061 (5-yr CDR)

1,542,629(2022 pop) X 0.01061 = 16,375 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

16,478 – 16,375 = 103 or 103 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

16,478 ÷ 16,375 = 1.0054 or an increase of 1%

for deaths from All Causes among women of all ages living in Iowa 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

11,864,327 X 0.01020 = 121,036 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

126042 – 121,036 = 5,006 or 5,006 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

126,042 ÷ 121,036 = 1.0403 or an increase of 4%

in deaths from All Causes among women of all ages living in Iowa in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
