2022 Deaths – All Causes – Male – Ages 30-34 | Arkansas, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for men aged 30-34 in Arkansas

1. 282 of 282 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 27% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 222 of 222 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 60 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 335 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 27% 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 30-34 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, 282 of 101,464 men aged 30-34 living in Arkansas died from All Causes.

282 ÷ 101,464 = 0.00278 (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 2,969 deaths from All Causes among 1,358,807 men aged 30-34 living in Arkansas in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

2,969 ÷ 1,358,807 = 0.00219 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

101,464 X 0.00219 = 222 expected deaths

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

282 – 222 = 60

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

282 ÷ 222 = 1.2662

This reveals 60 lives lost and is 126.62% of what we expected (an increase of 27%) in deaths from All Causes among men aged 30-34 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):

1,749 ÷ 674,587 = 0.00259 (5-yr CDR)

101,464(2022 pop) X 0.00259 = 263 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

282 – 263 = 19 or 19 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

282 ÷ 263 = 1.0679 or an increase of 7%

for deaths from All Causes among men aged 30-34 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

776,051 X 0.00219 = 1,696 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

2031 – 1,696 = 335 or 335 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

2,031 ÷ 1,696 = 1.1923 or an increase of 19%

in deaths from All Causes among men aged 30-34 living in Arkansas in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
