2022 Deaths – All Causes – Both Sexes – All Ages | Mississippi, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for individuals of all ages in Mississippi

1. 37,799 of 37,799 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 30% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 29,025 of 29,025 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 8,774 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 45,219 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 30% 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 individuals of all ages 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, 37,799 of 2,888,156 individuals of all ages living in Mississippi died from All Causes.

37,799 ÷ 2,888,156 = 0.01309 (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 434,352 deaths from All Causes among 43,220,762 individuals of all ages living in Mississippi in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

434,352 ÷ 43,220,762 = 0.01005 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

2,888,156 X 0.01005 = 29,025 expected deaths

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

37,799 – 29,025 = 8,774

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

37,799 ÷ 29,025 = 1.3010

This reveals 8,774 lives lost and is 130.10% of what we expected (an increase of 30%) in deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in Mississippi 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):

242,326 ÷ 20,486,478 = 0.01183 (5-yr CDR)

2,888,156(2022 pop) X 0.01183 = 34,163 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

37,799 – 34,163 = 3,636 or 3,636 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

37,799 ÷ 34,163 = 1.1055 or an increase of 11%

for deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in Mississippi 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

23,374,634 X 0.01005 = 234,906 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

280125 – 234,906 = 45,219 or 45,219 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

280,125 ÷ 234,906 = 1.1913 or an increase of 19%

in deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in Mississippi in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
