2022 Deaths – All Causes – Male – 90+ | Canada

2022 vs New Normal™ for elderly men aged 90+ in Canada

1. 26,077 of 26,077 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 2% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 25,470 of 25,470 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 607 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 7,526 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 2% 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 aged 90+ 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, 26,077 of 109,604 elderly men aged 90+ living in Canada died from All Causes.

26,077 ÷ 109,604 = 0.23792 (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 169,806 deaths from All Causes among 730,725 elderly men aged 90+ living in Canada in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

169,806 ÷ 730,725 = 0.23238 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

109,604 X 0.23238 = 25,470 expected deaths

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

26,077 – 25,470 = 607

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

26,077 ÷ 25,470 = 1.0238

This reveals 607 lives lost and is 102.38% of what we expected (an increase of 2%) in deaths from All Causes among elderly men aged 90+ 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):

141,541 ÷ 644,093 = 0.21975 (5-yr CDR)

109,604(2022 pop) X 0.21975 = 24,086 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

26,077 – 24,086 = 1,991 or 1,991 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

26,077 ÷ 24,086 = 1.0826 or an increase of 8%

for deaths from All Causes among elderly men aged 90+ 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

753,697 X 0.23238 = 175,144 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

167618 – 175,144 = -7,526 or 7,526 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

167,618 ÷ 175,144 = 0.9570 or a decrease of 4%

in deaths from All Causes among elderly men aged 90+ living in Canada in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
