- There were a total of 173,938 deaths in New York in 2022
- 85,069 of all deaths were among elderly women
- 79,636 of all deaths were among those aged 80+
- 46,733 of all deaths were among elderly women aged 80+
46,733 deaths from All Causes were among elderly women aged 80+
2022 vs New Normal™ for elderly women aged 80+ in New York
- 46,733 of 46,733 total deaths were from All Causes
- 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
- This is down 1% compared to Old Normal rates.
- 47,436 of 47,436 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
- 703 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2022.
- 22,146 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)
- To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are down 1% 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 women aged 80+ were there?” and
- “How many of them died from All Causes?”
The following 2 charts provide this information:
Deaths – All Causes – Female – Aged 80+ | New York, United-states
Population – Female – Aged 80+ – [2000-2022] | New York, United-states
From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 46,733 of 251,253 elderly women aged 80+ living in New York died from All Causes.
46,733 ÷ 251,253 = 0.18600 (2022 CDR)
The table shows there were a total of 672,204 deaths from All Causes among 3,560,459 elderly women aged 80+ living in New York in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.
672,204 ÷ 3,560,459 = 0.18880 (Old Normal CDR)
We can use the Old Normal rate to predict this year’s deaths:
2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths
251,253 X 0.18880 = 47,436 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths shows lives saved or lost:
46,733 – 47,436 = -703
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths gives us the comparative rates:
46,733 ÷ 47,436 = 0.9851
This reveals 703 lives saved and is 98.51% of what we expected (a decrease of 1%) in deaths from All Causes among elderly women aged 80+ 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):
328,683 ÷ 1,619,911 = 0.20290 (5-yr CDR)
251,253(2022 pop) X 0.20290 = 50,980 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
46,733 – 50,980 = -4,247 or 4,247 lives saved
Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:
46,733 ÷ 50,980 = 0.9167 or a decrease of 8%
for deaths from All Causes among elderly women aged 80+ 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
1,871,164 X 0.18880 = 353,270 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
375416 – 353,270 = 22,146 or 22,146 lives lost
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:
375,416 ÷ 353,270 = 1.0626 or an increase of 6%
in deaths from All Causes among elderly women aged 80+ living in New York in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
The world has been led to believe that a deadly pandemic swept the globe beginning in 2020, causing an increase in death rates, especially among the elderly
The data show that death rates began to increase in 2015, immediately upon implementation of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, that young adults have experienced ever-increasing death rates since, and that death rates among the elderly have remained relatively stable.
