Dec 28, 2020 · 2022 will see 50 years since Columbo took down murderer Viveca Scott played by Vera Miles. She'll be 93 in 2022 if still alive then so a good shout for deadpools. Wait, what, were you expecting a different joke?
Jun 14, 2023 · The US has higher death rates than its peer countries due to a variety of causes. Cardiovascular disease prevalence has been an important driver of life expectancy changes across the globe in recent decades.

During January–December 2022, the estimated 2022 U.S. age-adjusted death rate decreased by 5.3% to 832.8 per 100,000 persons, from 879.7 in 2021. Overall death rates were highest among males, older adults, and Black persons. The highest weekly numbers of overall deaths and COVID-19–associated deaths occurred during January and December. The three leading causes of death in 2022 were heart disease, cancer, and unintentional injury. COVID-19, the third leading cause of death in 2021, fell to fourth place in 2022 because of the large decrease in COVID-19–associated deaths compared with those in 2021 (7). The number of deaths caused by unintentional injury, largely driven by a high number of drug overdose deaths, remained high in 2022 compared with 2021 (8).
Overall death rates and COVID-19–associated death rates decreased from 2021 to 2022 for most demographic groups, with the exception of certain age groups. COVID-19–associated death rates increased for all persons aged <15 years. Although the overall and COVID-19–associated death rates decreased for persons aged ≥85 years from 2021 to 2022, rates remained higher for this group compared with all other age groups. In addition, although overall and COVID-19–associated death rates decreased among all racial and ethnic groups, age-adjusted total and COVID-19–associated death rates remained high for Black and AI/AN persons compared with other groups. The current report did not examine death rates for causes of death other than COVID-19; however, available provisional data from the CDC WONDER platform indicate death rate patterns for leading causes of death (9). The age-adjusted rate of heart disease deaths increased for the third straight year since 2020. While the age-adjusted rate of cancer deaths had declined steadily during 1999–2020, the cancer death rate increased in 2021 and 2022. Further analysis of provisional data might offer additional insights into demographic patterns of leading causes of death.
The findings in this report are subject to at least three limitations. First, data are provisional, and numbers and rates might change as additional information is received. Described changes in mortality trends might be underestimates. Second, timeliness of death certificate submission can vary by jurisdiction. As a result, the national distribution of deaths might be affected by the distribution of deaths reported from jurisdictions reporting later, which might differ from those in the United States overall. Finally, potential exists for misclassification of certain categories of race (i.e., AI/AN and Asian) and Hispanic ethnicity reported on death certificates (10). Thus, death rates for some groups might be under- or overestimated.
This report provides an overview of provisional mortality in the United States during 2022. Provisional death estimates can offer researchers and policymakers an early signal about shifts in mortality trends and provide actionable information sooner than do the final mortality data, which are released approximately 11 months after the end of the data year. These data can guide public health policies and interventions aimed at reducing mortality directly or indirectly associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and among persons most affected, including persons who are older, male, or from members of certain racial and ethnic minority groups.
