2022 Deaths – All Causes – Female – Ages 35-39 | Arkansas, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for women aged 35-39 in Arkansas

1. 197 of 197 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 99.99% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 31% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 149 of 149 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 48 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 336 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 31% 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 women 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, 197 of 95,289 women aged 35-39 living in Arkansas died from All Causes.

197 ÷ 95,289 = 0.00207 (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 2,173 deaths from All Causes among 1,389,034 women aged 35-39 living in Arkansas in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

2,173 ÷ 1,389,034 = 0.00156 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

95,289 X 0.00156 = 149 expected deaths

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

197 – 149 = 48

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

197 ÷ 149 = 1.3131

This reveals 48 lives lost and is 131.31% of what we expected (an increase of 31%) in deaths from All Causes among women aged 35-39 living in Arkansas 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):

1,328 ÷ 664,826 = 0.00200 (5-yr CDR)

95,289(2022 pop) X 0.00200 = 190 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

197 – 190 = 7 or 7 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

197 ÷ 190 = 1.0298 or an increase of 3%

for deaths from All Causes among women aged 35-39 living in Arkansas 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

760,115 X 0.00156 = 1,189 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

1525 – 1,189 = 336 or 336 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

1,525 ÷ 1,189 = 1.2743 or an increase of 27%

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