- There were a total of 326,215 deaths in Canada in 2023
- 33,090 of all deaths were among those aged 70-74
33,090 deaths from All Causes were among elderly men and women aged 70-74
2023 vs New Normal™ for elderly men and women aged 70-74 in Canada
- 33,090 of 33,090 total deaths were from All Causes
- 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
- This is down 18% compared to Old Normal rates.
- 40,477 of 40,477 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
- 7,387 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2023.
- 52,625 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2023)
- To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are down 18% compared to Old Normal rates, we need to calculate the rates for both 2023 and for the Old Normal.
Remember, death rates are calculated to answer these questions:
- “How many elderly men and women aged 70-74 were there?” and
- “How many of them died from All Causes?”
The following 2 charts provide this information:
Deaths – All Causes – Both Sexes – Aged 70-74 | Canada, Canada
Population – Both Sexes – Aged 70-74 – [2000-2023] | Canada, Canada
From the charts, we can see that in 2023, 33,090 of 1,912,789 elderly men and women aged 70-74 living in Canada died from All Causes.
33,090 ÷ 1,912,789 = 0.01730 (2023 CDR)
Deaths/100,000 Both Sexes 70-74 from All Causes
The table shows there were a total of 347,966 deaths from All Causes among 16,443,556 elderly men and women aged 70-74 living in Canada in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.
347,966 ÷ 16,443,556 = 0.02116 (Old Normal CDR)
We can use the Old Normal rate to predict this year’s deaths:
2023 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths
1,912,789 X 0.02116 = 40,477 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths shows lives saved or lost:
33,090 – 40,477 = -7,387
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths gives us the comparative rates:
33,090 ÷ 40,477 = 0.8171
This reveals 7,387 lives saved and is 81.71% of what we expected (a decrease of 18%) in deaths from All Causes among elderly men and women aged 70-74 living in Canada in 2023, as compared to the Old Normal.
This is the same method used by Public Health to calculate the 5-yr CDR (Cumulative Death Rate):
233,448 ÷ 13,169,657 = 0.01773 (5-yr CDR)
1,912,789(2023 pop) X 0.01773 = 33,906 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
33,090 – 33,906 = -816 or 816 lives saved
Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:
33,090 ÷ 33,906 = 0.9754 or a decrease of 2%
for deaths from All Causes among elderly men and women aged 70-74 living in Canada in 2023, 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
15,082,446 X 0.02116 = 319,163 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
266538 – 319,163 = -52,625 or 52,625 lives saved
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:
266,538 ÷ 319,163 = 0.8347 or a decrease of 17%
in deaths from All Causes among elderly men and women aged 70-74 living in Canada in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
The world has been led to believe that a deadly pandemic swept the globe beginning in 2020, causing an increase in death rates, especially among the elderly
The data show that death rates began to increase in 2015, immediately upon implementation of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, that young adults have experienced ever-increasing death rates since, and that death rates among the elderly have remained relatively stable.
