2022 Deaths – All Causes – Male – Ages 55-59 | Texas, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for men aged 55-59 in Texas

1. 8,378 of 8,378 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 3% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 8,106 of 8,106 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 272 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 2,671 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 3% 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 55-59 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, 8,378 of 838,611 men aged 55-59 living in Texas died from All Causes.

8,378 ÷ 838,611 = 0.00999 (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 90,359 deaths from All Causes among 9,348,614 men aged 55-59 living in Texas in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

90,359 ÷ 9,348,614 = 0.00967 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

838,611 X 0.00967 = 8,106 expected deaths

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

8,378 – 8,106 = 272

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

8,378 ÷ 8,106 = 1.0325

This reveals 272 lives lost and is 103.25% of what we expected (an increase of 3%) in deaths from All Causes among men aged 55-59 living in Texas 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):

58,836 ÷ 5,839,064 = 0.01008 (5-yr CDR)

838,611(2022 pop) X 0.01008 = 8,450 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

8,378 – 8,450 = -72 or 72 lives saved

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

8,378 ÷ 8,450 = 0.9905 or a decrease of 1%

for deaths from All Causes among men aged 55-59 living in Texas 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

6,677,675 X 0.00967 = 64,543 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

67214 – 64,543 = 2,671 or 2,671 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

67,214 ÷ 64,543 = 1.0403 or an increase of 4%

in deaths from All Causes among men aged 55-59 living in Texas in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
