- There were a total of 3,279,754 deaths in United States in 2022
- 1,560,591 of all deaths were among elderly women
- 417,311 of all deaths were among those aged 80-84
- 208,013 of all deaths were among elderly women aged 80-84
208,013 deaths from All Causes were among elderly women aged 80-84
2022 vs New Normal™ for elderly women aged 80-84 in United States
- 208,013 of 208,013 total deaths were from All Causes
- 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
- This is down 4% compared to Old Normal rates.
- 216,818 of 216,818 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
- 8,805 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2022.
- 102,533 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)
- To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are down 4% 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 80-84 were there?” and
- “How many of them died from All Causes?”
The following 2 charts provide this information:
Deaths – All Causes – Female – Aged 80-84 | United States, United-states

Population – Female – Aged 80-84 – [2000-2022] | United States, United-states
![Graph showing Population - Female - Aged 80-84 - [2000-2022] | United States, United-states](/wp-content/plugins/dfuc-display/charts/united-states/united-states/2022/all/Female/80-84-pop.png)
From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 208,013 of 3,834,386 elderly women aged 80-84 living in United States died from All Causes.
208,013 ÷ 3,834,386 = 0.05425 (2022 CDR)
The table shows there were a total of 2,872,574 deaths from All Causes among 50,800,831 elderly women aged 80-84 living in United States in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.
2,872,574 ÷ 50,800,831 = 0.05655 (Old Normal CDR)
We can use the Old Normal rate to predict this year’s deaths:
2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths
3,834,386 X 0.05655 = 216,818 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths shows lives saved or lost:
208,013 – 216,818 = -8,805
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths gives us the comparative rates:
208,013 ÷ 216,818 = 0.9592
This reveals 8,805 lives saved and is 95.92% of what we expected (a decrease of 4%) in deaths from All Causes among elderly women aged 80-84 living in United States 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):
1,305,784 ÷ 24,750,041 = 0.05276 (5-yr CDR)
3,834,386(2022 pop) X 0.05276 = 202,298 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
208,013 – 202,298 = 5,715 or 5,715 lives lost
Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:
208,013 ÷ 202,298 = 1.0281 or an increase of 3%
for deaths from All Causes among elderly women aged 80-84 living in United States 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
28,584,427 X 0.05655 = 1,616,330 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
1513797 – 1,616,330 = -102,533 or 102,533 lives saved
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:
1,513,797 ÷ 1,616,330 = 0.9364 or a decrease of 6%
in deaths from All Causes among elderly women aged 80-84 living in United States 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.
