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

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

1. 502 of 502 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 56% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 320 of 320 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 182 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 1,108 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 56% 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, 502 of 152,215 men aged 30-34 living in Kentucky died from All Causes.

502 ÷ 152,215 = 0.00330 (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 4,479 deaths from All Causes among 2,131,938 men aged 30-34 living in Kentucky in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

4,479 ÷ 2,131,938 = 0.00210 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

152,215 X 0.00210 = 320 expected deaths

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

502 – 320 = 182

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

502 ÷ 320 = 1.5623

This reveals 182 lives lost and is 156.23% of what we expected (an increase of 56%) in deaths from All Causes among men aged 30-34 living in Kentucky 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):

3,006 ÷ 990,213 = 0.00304 (5-yr CDR)

152,215(2022 pop) X 0.00304 = 462 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

502 – 462 = 40 or 40 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

502 ÷ 462 = 1.0828 or an increase of 8%

for deaths from All Causes among men aged 30-34 living in Kentucky 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

1,142,428 X 0.00210 = 2,400 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

3508 – 2,400 = 1,108 or 1,108 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

3,508 ÷ 2,400 = 1.4547 or an increase of 45%

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