2022 Deaths – All Causes – Male – 0-4 | Canada

2022 vs New Normal™ for pre-school boys aged 0-4 in Canada

1. 1,043 of 1,043 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is down 15% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 1,221 of 1,221 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 178 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 1,365 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are down 15% 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 pre-school boys aged 0-4 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, 1,043 of 964,696 pre-school boys aged 0-4 living in Canada died from All Causes.

1,043 ÷ 964,696 = 0.00108 (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 17,530 deaths from All Causes among 13,853,062 pre-school boys aged 0-4 living in Canada in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

17,530 ÷ 13,853,062 = 0.00127 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

964,696 X 0.00127 = 1,221 expected deaths

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

1,043 – 1,221 = -178

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

1,043 ÷ 1,221 = 0.8477

This reveals 178 lives saved and is 84.77% of what we expected (a decrease of 15%) in deaths from All Causes among pre-school boys aged 0-4 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):

7,557 ÷ 6,910,042 = 0.00109 (5-yr CDR)

964,696(2022 pop) X 0.00109 = 1,055 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

1,043 – 1,055 = -12 or 12 lives saved

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

1,043 ÷ 1,055 = 0.9797 or a decrease of 2%

for deaths from All Causes among pre-school boys aged 0-4 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

7,874,738 X 0.00127 = 9,965 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

8600 – 9,965 = -1,365 or 1,365 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

8,600 ÷ 9,965 = 0.8563 or a decrease of 14%

in deaths from All Causes among pre-school boys aged 0-4 living in Canada in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
