2022 Deaths – All Causes – Both Sexes – Ages 65-69 | Canada

2022 vs New Normal™ for elderly men and women aged 65-69 in Canada

1. 26,990 of 26,990 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is down 10% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 30,053 of 30,053 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 3,063 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 29,256 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are down 10% 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 and women aged 65-69 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, 26,990 of 2,308,096 elderly men and women aged 65-69 living in Canada died from All Causes.

26,990 ÷ 2,308,096 = 0.01169 (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 265,793 deaths from All Causes among 20,413,091 elderly men and women aged 65-69 living in Canada in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

265,793 ÷ 20,413,091 = 0.01302 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

2,308,096 X 0.01302 = 30,053 expected deaths

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

26,990 – 30,053 = -3,063

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

26,990 ÷ 30,053 = 0.8974

This reveals 3,063 lives saved and is 89.74% of what we expected (a decrease of 10%) in deaths from All Causes among elderly men and women aged 65-69 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):

161,341 ÷ 14,402,714 = 0.01120 (5-yr CDR)

2,308,096(2022 pop) X 0.01120 = 25,856 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

26,990 – 25,856 = 1,134 or 1,134 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

26,990 ÷ 25,856 = 1.0429 or an increase of 4%

for deaths from All Causes among elderly men and women aged 65-69 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

16,710,810 X 0.01302 = 217,587 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

188331 – 217,587 = -29,256 or 29,256 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

188,331 ÷ 217,587 = 0.8649 or a decrease of 14%

in deaths from All Causes among elderly men and women aged 65-69 living in Canada in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
