2022 Deaths – All Causes – Female – 80-84 | Canada

2022 vs New Normal™ for elderly women aged 80-84 in Canada

1. 21,399 of 21,399 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. 23,823 of 23,823 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 2,424 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 21,214 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 women aged 80-84 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, 21,399 of 487,587 elderly women aged 80-84 living in Canada died from All Causes.

21,399 ÷ 487,587 = 0.04389 (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 281,036 deaths from All Causes among 5,752,063 elderly women aged 80-84 living in Canada in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

281,036 ÷ 5,752,063 = 0.04886 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

487,587 X 0.04886 = 23,823 expected deaths

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

21,399 – 23,823 = -2,424

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

21,399 ÷ 23,823 = 0.8981

This reveals 2,424 lives saved and is 89.81% of what we expected (a decrease of 10%) in deaths from All Causes among elderly women aged 80-84 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):

130,203 ÷ 3,049,505 = 0.04270 (5-yr CDR)

487,587(2022 pop) X 0.04270 = 20,818 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

21,399 – 20,818 = 581 or 581 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

21,399 ÷ 20,818 = 1.0277 or an increase of 3%

for deaths from All Causes among elderly women aged 80-84 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

3,537,092 X 0.04886 = 172,816 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

151602 – 172,816 = -21,214 or 21,214 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

151,602 ÷ 172,816 = 0.8771 or a decrease of 12%

in deaths from All Causes among elderly women aged 80-84 living in Canada in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
