2022 Deaths – All Causes – Both Sexes – Ages 35-39 | Minnesota, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for people aged 35-39 in Minnesota

1. 717 of 717 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 72% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 414 of 414 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 303 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 1,003 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 72% 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 35-39 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, 717 of 393,493 people aged 35-39 living in Minnesota died from All Causes.

717 ÷ 393,493 = 0.00182 (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 5,571 deaths from All Causes among 5,298,441 people aged 35-39 living in Minnesota in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

5,571 ÷ 5,298,441 = 0.00105 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

393,493 X 0.00105 = 414 expected deaths

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

717 – 414 = 303

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

717 ÷ 414 = 1.7167

This reveals 303 lives lost and is 171.67% of what we expected (an increase of 72%) in deaths from All Causes among people aged 35-39 living in Minnesota 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):

3,481 ÷ 2,645,055 = 0.00132 (5-yr CDR)

393,493(2022 pop) X 0.00132 = 518 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

717 – 518 = 199 or 199 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

717 ÷ 518 = 1.3741 or an increase of 37%

for deaths from All Causes among people aged 35-39 living in Minnesota 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

3,038,548 X 0.00105 = 3,195 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

4198 – 3,195 = 1,003 or 1,003 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

4,198 ÷ 3,195 = 1.3016 or an increase of 30%

in deaths from All Causes among people aged 35-39 living in Minnesota in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
