2022 Deaths – All Causes – Male – All Ages | Maryland, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for men of all ages in Maryland

1. 29,159 of 29,159 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 23% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 23,707 of 23,707 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 5,452 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 29,498 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 23% 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 of all ages 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, 29,159 of 2,961,128 men of all ages living in Maryland died from All Causes.

29,159 ÷ 2,961,128 = 0.00985 (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 325,096 deaths from All Causes among 40,605,854 men of all ages living in Maryland in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

325,096 ÷ 40,605,854 = 0.00801 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

2,961,128 X 0.00801 = 23,707 expected deaths

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

29,159 – 23,707 = 5,452

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

29,159 ÷ 23,707 = 1.2284

This reveals 5,452 lives lost and is 122.84% of what we expected (an increase of 23%) in deaths from All Causes among men of all ages living in Maryland 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):

186,368 ÷ 20,274,638 = 0.00919 (5-yr CDR)

2,961,128(2022 pop) X 0.00919 = 27,219 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

29,159 – 27,219 = 1,940 or 1,940 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

29,159 ÷ 27,219 = 1.0701 or an increase of 7%

for deaths from All Causes among men of all ages living in Maryland 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

23,235,766 X 0.00801 = 186,029 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

215527 – 186,029 = 29,498 or 29,498 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

215,527 ÷ 186,029 = 1.1571 or an increase of 16%

in deaths from All Causes among men of all ages living in Maryland in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
