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

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

1. 47,976 of 47,976 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 20% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 39,879 of 39,879 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 8,097 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 33,888 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 20% 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, 47,976 of 3,949,451 individuals of all ages living in Oklahoma died from All Causes.

47,976 ÷ 3,949,451 = 0.01215 (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 543,124 deaths from All Causes among 53,788,395 individuals of all ages living in Oklahoma in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

543,124 ÷ 53,788,395 = 0.01010 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

3,949,451 X 0.01010 = 39,879 expected deaths

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

47,976 – 39,879 = 8,097

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

47,976 ÷ 39,879 = 1.2018

This reveals 8,097 lives lost and is 120.18% of what we expected (an increase of 20%) in deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in Oklahoma 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):

299,767 ÷ 27,133,220 = 0.01105 (5-yr CDR)

3,949,451(2022 pop) X 0.01105 = 43,633 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

47,976 – 43,633 = 4,343 or 4,343 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

47,976 ÷ 43,633 = 1.0985 or an increase of 10%

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

31,082,671 X 0.01010 = 313,855 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

347743 – 313,855 = 33,888 or 33,888 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

347,743 ÷ 313,855 = 1.1069 or an increase of 11%

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