2022 Deaths – All Causes – Both Sexes – Ages 75-79 | New York, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for elderly men and women aged 75-79 in New York

1. 20,498 of 20,498 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is down 15% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 23,993 of 23,993 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 3,495 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 19,164 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are down 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 elderly men and women 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, 20,498 of 655,902 elderly men and women aged 75-79 living in New York died from All Causes.

20,498 ÷ 655,902 = 0.03125 (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 272,828 deaths from All Causes among 7,458,278 elderly men and women aged 75-79 living in New York in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

272,828 ÷ 7,458,278 = 0.03658 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

655,902 X 0.03658 = 23,993 expected deaths

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

20,498 – 23,993 = -3,495

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

20,498 ÷ 23,993 = 0.8541

This reveals 3,495 lives saved and is 85.41% of what we expected (a decrease of 15%) in deaths from All Causes among elderly men and women aged 75-79 living in New York 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):

126,453 ÷ 3,885,176 = 0.03255 (5-yr CDR)

655,902(2022 pop) X 0.03255 = 21,348 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

20,498 – 21,348 = -850 or 850 lives saved

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

20,498 ÷ 21,348 = 0.9599 or a decrease of 4%

for deaths from All Causes among elderly men and women aged 75-79 living in New York 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

4,541,078 X 0.03658 = 166,115 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

146951 – 166,115 = -19,164 or 19,164 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

146,951 ÷ 166,115 = 0.8844 or a decrease of 12%

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