2023 Deaths – Unknown Causes – Both Sexes – Ages 35-39 | Canada

2023 vs New Normal™ for people aged 35-39 in Canada

1. 775 of 3,736 total deaths were from Unknown Causes
2. 20.74% of all deaths were from Unknown Causes
3. This is up 488% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 104 of 2,526 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 671 excess deaths from Unknown Causes in 2023.
6. 1,210 excess All Cause deaths in 2023.
7. 2,626 excess deaths from Unknown Causes (2015-2023)
8. 4,424 excess All Cause deaths over the first 9 years of Canada’s New Normal™.

1. To show this year’s deaths from Unknown Causes are up 488% 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 people aged 35-39 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 2023, 775 of 2,808,843 people aged 35-39 living in Canada died from Unknown Causes.

775 ÷ 2,808,843 = 0.00028 (2023 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 1,324 deaths from Unknown Causes among 35,881,533 people aged 35-39 living in Canada in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

1,324 ÷ 35,881,533 = 0.00004 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2023 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

2,808,843 X 0.00004 = 104 expected deaths

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

775 – 104 = 671

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

775 ÷ 104 = 5.8831

This reveals 671 lives lost and is 588.31% of what we expected (an increase of 488%) in deaths from Unknown Causes among people aged 35-39 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):

2,705 ÷ 20,346,387 = 0.00013 (5-yr CDR)

2,808,843(2023 pop) X 0.00013 = 373 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

775 – 373 = 402 or 402 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

775 ÷ 373 = 1.9302 or an increase of 93%

for deaths from Unknown Causes among people aged 35-39 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

23,155,230 X 0.00004 = 854 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

3480 – 854 = 2,626 or 2,626 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

3,480 ÷ 854 = 3.2045 or an increase of 220%

in deaths from Unknown Causes among people aged 35-39 living in Canada in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
