2022 Deaths – All Causes – Male – 60-64 | Washington, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for men aged 60-64 in Washington

1. 3,105 of 3,105 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 16% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 2,682 of 2,682 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 423 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 1,088 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 16% 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 men aged 60-64 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, 3,105 of 233,761 men aged 60-64 living in Washington died from All Causes.

3,105 ÷ 233,761 = 0.01328 (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 27,185 deaths from All Causes among 2,369,173 men aged 60-64 living in Washington in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

27,185 ÷ 2,369,173 = 0.01147 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

233,761 X 0.01147 = 2,682 expected deaths

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

3,105 – 2,682 = 423

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

3,105 ÷ 2,682 = 1.1566

This reveals 423 lives lost and is 115.66% of what we expected (an increase of 16%) in deaths from All Causes among men aged 60-64 living in Washington 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):

18,791 ÷ 1,579,669 = 0.01190 (5-yr CDR)

233,761(2022 pop) X 0.01190 = 2,781 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

3,105 – 2,781 = 324 or 324 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

3,105 ÷ 2,781 = 1.1157 or an increase of 12%

for deaths from All Causes among men aged 60-64 living in Washington 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

1,813,430 X 0.01147 = 20,808 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

21896 – 20,808 = 1,088 or 1,088 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

21,896 ÷ 20,808 = 1.0514 or an increase of 5%

in deaths from All Causes among men aged 60-64 living in Washington in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
