2022 Deaths – All Causes – Male – Ages 45-49 | Texas, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for men aged 45-49 in Texas

1. 3,993 of 3,993 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is down 0% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 3,997 of 3,997 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 4 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 794 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are down 0% 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 45-49 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, 3,993 of 935,754 men aged 45-49 living in Texas died from All Causes.

3,993 ÷ 935,754 = 0.00427 (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 52,702 deaths from All Causes among 12,337,600 men aged 45-49 living in Texas in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

52,702 ÷ 12,337,600 = 0.00427 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

935,754 X 0.00427 = 3,997 expected deaths

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

3,993 – 3,997 = -4

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

3,993 ÷ 3,997 = 0.9966

This reveals 4 lives saved and is 99.66% of what we expected (a decrease of 0%) in deaths from All Causes among men aged 45-49 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):

26,277 ÷ 6,336,250 = 0.00415 (5-yr CDR)

935,754(2022 pop) X 0.00415 = 3,881 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

3,993 – 3,881 = 112 or 112 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

3,993 ÷ 3,881 = 1.0265 or an increase of 3%

for deaths from All Causes among men aged 45-49 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

7,272,004 X 0.00427 = 31,064 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

30270 – 31,064 = -794 or 794 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

30,270 ÷ 31,064 = 0.9722 or a decrease of 3%

in deaths from All Causes among men aged 45-49 living in Texas in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
