2022 Deaths – All Causes – Female – 80-84 | Ontario, Canada

2022 vs New Normal™ for elderly women aged 80-84 in Ontario

1. 7,689 of 7,689 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is down 19% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 9,444 of 9,444 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 1,755 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 10,696 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are down 19% 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 women aged 80-84 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, 7,689 of 192,116 elderly women aged 80-84 living in Ontario died from All Causes.

7,689 ÷ 192,116 = 0.04002 (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 108,733 deaths from All Causes among 2,211,891 elderly women aged 80-84 living in Ontario in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

108,733 ÷ 2,211,891 = 0.04916 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

192,116 X 0.04916 = 9,444 expected deaths

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

7,689 – 9,444 = -1,755

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

7,689 ÷ 9,444 = 0.8140

This reveals 1,755 lives saved and is 81.40% of what we expected (a decrease of 19%) in deaths from All Causes among elderly women aged 80-84 living in Ontario 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):

50,346 ÷ 1,206,048 = 0.04174 (5-yr CDR)

192,116(2022 pop) X 0.04174 = 8,020 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

7,689 – 8,020 = -331 or 331 lives saved

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

7,689 ÷ 8,020 = 0.9585 or a decrease of 4%

for deaths from All Causes among elderly women aged 80-84 living in Ontario 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

1,398,164 X 0.04916 = 68,731 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

58035 – 68,731 = -10,696 or 10,696 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

58,035 ÷ 68,731 = 0.8442 or a decrease of 16%

in deaths from All Causes among elderly women aged 80-84 living in Ontario in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
