2022 Deaths – All Causes – Both Sexes – All Ages | Nunavut, Canada

2022 vs New Normal™ for individuals of all ages in Nunavut

1. 175 of 175 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 99.99% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is down 4% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 182 of 182 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 7 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 109 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are down 4% 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 individuals of all ages 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, 175 of 40,526 individuals of all ages living in Nunavut died from All Causes.

175 ÷ 40,526 = 0.00432 (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 2,002 deaths from All Causes among 446,694 individuals of all ages living in Nunavut in the 14 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

2,002 ÷ 446,694 = 0.00448 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

40,526 X 0.00448 = 182 expected deaths

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

175 – 182 = -7

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

175 ÷ 182 = 0.9614

This reveals 7 lives saved and is 96.14% of what we expected (a decrease of 4%) in deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in Nunavut 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):

1,311 ÷ 266,612 = 0.00492 (5-yr CDR)

40,526(2022 pop) X 0.00492 = 199 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

175 – 199 = -24 or 24 lives saved

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

175 ÷ 199 = 0.8764 or a decrease of 12%

for deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in Nunavut 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

307,138 X 0.00448 = 1,377 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

1486 – 1,377 = 109 or 109 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

1,486 ÷ 1,377 = 1.0771 or an increase of 8%

in deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in Nunavut in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
