2022 Deaths – All Causes – Male – Ages 15-19 | Canada

2022 vs New Normal™ for teen-aged boys aged 15-19 in Canada

1. 526 of 526 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is down 14% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 602 of 602 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 76 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 880 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are down 14% 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 teen-aged boys aged 15-19 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, 526 of 1,082,693 teen-aged boys aged 15-19 living in Canada died from All Causes.

526 ÷ 1,082,693 = 0.00049 (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 9,334 deaths from All Causes among 16,793,056 teen-aged boys aged 15-19 living in Canada in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

9,334 ÷ 16,793,056 = 0.00056 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

1,082,693 X 0.00056 = 602 expected deaths

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

526 – 602 = -76

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

526 ÷ 602 = 0.8586

This reveals 76 lives saved and is 85.86% of what we expected (a decrease of 14%) in deaths from All Causes among teen-aged boys aged 15-19 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):

3,376 ÷ 7,520,295 = 0.00045 (5-yr CDR)

1,082,693(2022 pop) X 0.00045 = 486 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

526 – 486 = 40 or 40 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

526 ÷ 486 = 1.0586 or an increase of 6%

for deaths from All Causes among teen-aged boys aged 15-19 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

8,602,988 X 0.00056 = 4,782 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

3902 – 4,782 = -880 or 880 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

3,902 ÷ 4,782 = 0.8016 or a decrease of 20%

in deaths from All Causes among teen-aged boys aged 15-19 living in Canada in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
