2022 Deaths – All Causes – Male – Ages 20-24 | Kansas, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for men aged 20-24 in Kansas

1. 171 of 171 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 99.99% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 8% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 157 of 157 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 14 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 27 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 8% 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 20-24 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, 171 of 118,079 men aged 20-24 living in Kansas died from All Causes.

171 ÷ 118,079 = 0.00145 (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 2,146 deaths from All Causes among 1,612,314 men aged 20-24 living in Kansas in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

2,146 ÷ 1,612,314 = 0.00133 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

118,079 X 0.00133 = 157 expected deaths

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

171 – 157 = 14

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

171 ÷ 157 = 1.0799

This reveals 14 lives lost and is 107.99% of what we expected (an increase of 8%) in deaths from All Causes among men aged 20-24 living in Kansas 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):

1,062 ÷ 788,269 = 0.00135 (5-yr CDR)

118,079(2022 pop) X 0.00135 = 159 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

171 – 159 = 12 or 12 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

171 ÷ 159 = 1.0670 or an increase of 7%

for deaths from All Causes among men aged 20-24 living in Kansas 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

906,348 X 0.00133 = 1,206 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

1233 – 1,206 = 27 or 27 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

1,233 ÷ 1,206 = 1.0145 or an increase of 1%

in deaths from All Causes among men aged 20-24 living in Kansas in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
