2022 Deaths – All Causes – Female – All Ages | Northwest Territories, Canada

2022 vs New Normal™ for women of all ages in Northwest Territories

1. 115 of 115 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 99.99% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 49% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 77 of 77 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 38 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 198 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 49% 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 women of all ages 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, 115 of 22,095 women of all ages living in Northwest Territories died from All Causes.

115 ÷ 22,095 = 0.00520 (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 1,013 deaths from All Causes among 291,608 women of all ages living in Northwest Territories in the 14 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

1,013 ÷ 291,608 = 0.00347 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

22,095 X 0.00347 = 77 expected deaths

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

115 – 77 = 38

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

115 ÷ 77 = 1.4940

This reveals 38 lives lost and is 149.40% of what we expected (an increase of 49%) in deaths from All Causes among women of all ages living in Northwest Territories 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):

691 ÷ 153,010 = 0.00452 (5-yr CDR)

22,095(2022 pop) X 0.00452 = 100 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

115 – 100 = 15 or 15 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

115 ÷ 100 = 1.1500 or an increase of 15%

for deaths from All Causes among women of all ages living in Northwest Territories 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

175,105 X 0.00347 = 608 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

806 – 608 = 198 or 198 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

806 ÷ 608 = 1.3212 or an increase of 32%

in deaths from All Causes among women of all ages living in Northwest Territories in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
