2022 Deaths – Unknown Causes – Male – Ages 30-34 | United States

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

1. 2,635 of 30,034 total deaths were from Unknown Causes
2. 8.77% of all deaths were from Unknown Causes
3. This is down 7% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 2,702 of 17,909 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 67 fewer than expected deaths from Unknown Causes in 2022.
6. 12,125 excess All Cause deaths in 2022.
7. 357 fewer than expected deaths from Unknown Causes (2015-2022)
8. 58,050 excess All Cause deaths over the first 8 years of United States’s New Normal™.

1. To show this year’s deaths from Unknown Causes are down 7% 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 Unknown Causes?”

The following 2 charts provide this information:

From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 2,635 of 11,836,820 men aged 30-34 living in United States died from Unknown Causes.

2,635 ÷ 11,836,820 = 0.00022 (2022 CDR)

We’ll use the table below to calculate our Old Normal rate for deaths from Unknown Causes

The table shows there were a total of 34,795 deaths from Unknown Causes among 152,455,311 men aged 30-34 living in United States in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

34,795 ÷ 152,455,311 = 0.00023 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

11,836,820 X 0.00023 = 2,702 expected deaths

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

2,635 – 2,702 = -67

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

2,635 ÷ 2,702 = 0.9344

This reveals 67 lives saved and is 93.44% of what we expected (a decrease of 7%) in deaths from Unknown Causes among men aged 30-34 living in United States 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):

17,680 ÷ 78,737,172 = 0.00022 (5-yr CDR)

11,836,820(2022 pop) X 0.00022 = 2,658 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

2,635 – 2,658 = -23 or 23 lives saved

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

2,635 ÷ 2,658 = 0.9491 or a decrease of 5%

for deaths from Unknown Causes among men aged 30-34 living in United States 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

90,573,992 X 0.00023 = 20,672 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

20315 – 20,672 = -357 or 357 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

20,315 ÷ 20,672 = 0.9415 or a decrease of 6%

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