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

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

1. 2,812 of 2,812 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 36% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 2,063 of 2,063 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 749 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 2,705 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 36% 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, 2,812 of 1,098,030 men aged 35-39 living in Texas died from All Causes.

2,812 ÷ 1,098,030 = 0.00256 (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 24,033 deaths from All Causes among 12,792,735 men aged 35-39 living in Texas in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

24,033 ÷ 12,792,735 = 0.00188 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

1,098,030 X 0.00188 = 2,063 expected deaths

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

2,812 – 2,063 = 749

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

2,812 ÷ 2,063 = 1.3560

This reveals 749 lives lost and is 135.60% of what we expected (an increase of 36%) in deaths from All Causes among men aged 35-39 living in Texas 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):

15,263 ÷ 7,083,580 = 0.00215 (5-yr CDR)

1,098,030(2022 pop) X 0.00215 = 2,366 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

2,812 – 2,366 = 446 or 446 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

2,812 ÷ 2,366 = 1.1831 or an increase of 18%

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

8,181,610 X 0.00188 = 15,370 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

18075 – 15,370 = 2,705 or 2,705 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

18,075 ÷ 15,370 = 1.1697 or an increase of 17%

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