2022 Deaths – All Causes – Both Sexes – Ages 25-29 | Louisiana, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for people aged 25-29 in Louisiana

1. 627 of 627 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 34% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 466 of 466 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 161 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 415 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 34% 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 people aged 25-29 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, 627 of 292,626 people aged 25-29 living in Louisiana died from All Causes.

627 ÷ 292,626 = 0.00214 (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 7,505 deaths from All Causes among 4,710,666 people aged 25-29 living in Louisiana in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

7,505 ÷ 4,710,666 = 0.00159 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

292,626 X 0.00159 = 466 expected deaths

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

627 – 466 = 161

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

627 ÷ 466 = 1.3365

This reveals 161 lives lost and is 133.65% of what we expected (an increase of 34%) in deaths from All Causes among people aged 25-29 living in Louisiana 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):

4,001 ÷ 2,351,664 = 0.00170 (5-yr CDR)

292,626(2022 pop) X 0.00170 = 498 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

627 – 498 = 129 or 129 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

627 ÷ 498 = 1.2520 or an increase of 25%

for deaths from All Causes among people aged 25-29 living in Louisiana 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

2,644,290 X 0.00159 = 4,213 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

4628 – 4,213 = 415 or 415 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

4,628 ÷ 4,213 = 1.0917 or an increase of 9%

in deaths from All Causes among people aged 25-29 living in Louisiana in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
