2022 Deaths – All Causes – Male – 65-69 | Texas, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for elderly men aged 65-69 in Texas

1. 14,103 of 14,103 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 6% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 13,351 of 13,351 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 752 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 2,857 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 6% 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 elderly men aged 65-69 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, 14,103 of 651,545 elderly men aged 65-69 living in Texas died from All Causes.

14,103 ÷ 651,545 = 0.02165 (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 112,763 deaths from All Causes among 5,503,121 elderly men aged 65-69 living in Texas in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

112,763 ÷ 5,503,121 = 0.02049 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

651,545 X 0.02049 = 13,351 expected deaths

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

14,103 – 13,351 = 752

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

14,103 ÷ 13,351 = 1.0558

This reveals 752 lives lost and is 105.58% of what we expected (an increase of 6%) in deaths from All Causes among elderly men aged 65-69 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):

85,573 ÷ 4,073,453 = 0.02101 (5-yr CDR)

651,545(2022 pop) X 0.02101 = 13,687 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

14,103 – 13,687 = 416 or 416 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

14,103 ÷ 13,687 = 1.0299 or an increase of 3%

for deaths from All Causes among elderly men aged 65-69 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

4,724,998 X 0.02049 = 96,819 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

99676 – 96,819 = 2,857 or 2,857 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

99,676 ÷ 96,819 = 1.0290 or an increase of 3%

in deaths from All Causes among elderly men aged 65-69 living in Texas in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
