2022 Deaths – All Causes – Both Sexes – Ages 45-49 | Canada

2022 vs New Normal™ for people aged 45-49 in Canada

1. 5,165 of 5,165 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 1% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 5,074 of 5,074 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 91 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 3,187 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 1% 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 people aged 45-49 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, 5,165 of 2,405,593 people aged 45-49 living in Canada died from All Causes.

5,165 ÷ 2,405,593 = 0.00215 (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 82,329 deaths from All Causes among 39,033,337 people aged 45-49 living in Canada in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

82,329 ÷ 39,033,337 = 0.00211 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

2,405,593 X 0.00211 = 5,074 expected deaths

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

5,165 – 5,074 = 91

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

5,165 ÷ 5,074 = 1.0132

This reveals 91 lives lost and is 101.32% of what we expected (an increase of 1%) in deaths from All Causes among people aged 45-49 living in Canada 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):

32,312 ÷ 16,873,848 = 0.00191 (5-yr CDR)

2,405,593(2022 pop) X 0.00191 = 4,607 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

5,165 – 4,607 = 558 or 558 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

5,165 ÷ 4,607 = 1.1154 or an increase of 12%

for deaths from All Causes among people aged 45-49 living in Canada 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

19,279,441 X 0.00211 = 40,664 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

37477 – 40,664 = -3,187 or 3,187 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

37,477 ÷ 40,664 = 0.9173 or a decrease of 8%

in deaths from All Causes among people aged 45-49 living in Canada in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
