2022 Deaths – All Causes – Male – Ages 90+ | Saskatchewan, Canada

2022 vs New Normal™ for elderly men aged 90+ in Saskatchewan

1. 1,023 of 1,023 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 13% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 903 of 903 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 120 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 1,501 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 13% 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 elderly men aged 90+ 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, 1,023 of 3,298 elderly men aged 90+ living in Saskatchewan died from All Causes.

1,023 ÷ 3,298 = 0.31019 (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 9,516 deaths from All Causes among 34,758 elderly men aged 90+ living in Saskatchewan in the 14 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

9,516 ÷ 34,758 = 0.27378 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

3,298 X 0.27378 = 903 expected deaths

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

1,023 – 903 = 120

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

1,023 ÷ 903 = 1.1329

This reveals 120 lives lost and is 113.29% of what we expected (an increase of 13%) in deaths from All Causes among elderly men aged 90+ living in Saskatchewan 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):

5,005 ÷ 24,204 = 0.20678 (5-yr CDR)

3,298(2022 pop) X 0.20678 = 682 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

1,023 – 682 = 341 or 341 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

1,023 ÷ 682 = 1.5000 or an increase of 50%

for deaths from All Causes among elderly men aged 90+ living in Saskatchewan 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

27,502 X 0.27378 = 7,529 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

6028 – 7,529 = -1,501 or 1,501 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

6,028 ÷ 7,529 = 0.8006 or a decrease of 20%

in deaths from All Causes among elderly men aged 90+ living in Saskatchewan in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
