2022 Deaths – All Causes – Male – 35-39 | Maryland, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for men aged 35-39 in Maryland

1. 632 of 632 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 42% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 444 of 444 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 188 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 1,022 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 42% 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 35-39 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, 632 of 210,089 men aged 35-39 living in Maryland died from All Causes.

632 ÷ 210,089 = 0.00301 (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 6,218 deaths from All Causes among 2,945,119 men aged 35-39 living in Maryland in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

6,218 ÷ 2,945,119 = 0.00211 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

210,089 X 0.00211 = 444 expected deaths

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

632 – 444 = 188

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

632 ÷ 444 = 1.4181

This reveals 188 lives lost and is 141.81% of what we expected (an increase of 42%) in deaths from All Causes among men aged 35-39 living in Maryland 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):

3,765 ÷ 1,388,348 = 0.00271 (5-yr CDR)

210,089(2022 pop) X 0.00271 = 570 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

632 – 570 = 62 or 62 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

632 ÷ 570 = 1.1052 or an increase of 11%

for deaths from All Causes among men aged 35-39 living in Maryland 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

1,598,437 X 0.00211 = 3,375 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

4397 – 3,375 = 1,022 or 1,022 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

4,397 ÷ 3,375 = 1.2968 or an increase of 30%

in deaths from All Causes among men aged 35-39 living in Maryland in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
