2022 Deaths – Unknown Causes – Male – 20-24 | Canada

2022 vs New Normal™ for men aged 20-24 in Canada

1. 335 of 992 total deaths were from Unknown Causes
2. 33.77% of all deaths were from Unknown Causes
3. This is up 446% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 48 of 1,044 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 287 excess deaths from Unknown Causes in 2022.
6. 52 fewer than expected All Cause deaths in 2022.
7. 848 excess deaths from Unknown Causes (2015-2022)
8. 78 fewer than expected All Cause deaths over the first 8 years of Canada’s New Normal™.

1. To show this year’s deaths from Unknown Causes are up 446% 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 men aged 20-24 were there?” and
• “How many of them died from Unknown Causes?”

The following 2 charts provide this information:

From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 335 of 1,313,100 men aged 20-24 living in Canada died from Unknown Causes.

335 ÷ 1,313,100 = 0.00026 (2022 CDR)

We’ll use the table below to calculate our Old Normal rate for deaths from Unknown Causes

The table shows there were a total of 636 deaths from Unknown Causes among 17,332,503 men aged 20-24 living in Canada in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

636 ÷ 17,332,503 = 0.00004 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

1,313,100 X 0.00004 = 48 expected deaths

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

335 – 48 = 287

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

335 ÷ 48 = 5.4637

This reveals 287 lives lost and is 546.37% of what we expected (an increase of 446%) in deaths from Unknown Causes among men aged 20-24 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):

887 ÷ 8,872,841 = 0.00010 (5-yr CDR)

1,313,100(2022 pop) X 0.00010 = 131 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

335 – 131 = 204 or 204 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

335 ÷ 131 = 2.3200 or an increase of 132%

for deaths from Unknown Causes among men aged 20-24 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

10,185,941 X 0.00004 = 374 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

1222 – 374 = 848 or 848 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

1,222 ÷ 374 = 2.5693 or an increase of 157%

in deaths from Unknown Causes among men aged 20-24 living in Canada in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
