2022 Deaths – Unknown Causes – Male – Ages 60-64 | Ontario, Canada

2022 vs New Normal™ for men aged 60-64 in Ontario

1. 370 of 4,514 total deaths were from Unknown Causes
2. 8.20% of all deaths were from Unknown Causes
3. This is up 491% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 58 of 4,979 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 312 excess deaths from Unknown Causes in 2022.
6. 465 fewer than expected All Cause deaths in 2022.
7. 775 excess deaths from Unknown Causes (2015-2022)
8. 3,898 fewer than expected All Cause deaths over the first 8 years of Ontario’s New Normal™.

1. To show this year’s deaths from Unknown Causes are up 491% 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 60-64 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, 370 of 492,464 men aged 60-64 living in Ontario died from Unknown Causes.

370 ÷ 492,464 = 0.00075 (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 547 deaths from Unknown Causes among 4,673,994 men aged 60-64 living in Ontario in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

547 ÷ 4,673,994 = 0.00012 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

492,464 X 0.00012 = 58 expected deaths

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

370 – 58 = 312

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

370 ÷ 58 = 5.9145

This reveals 312 lives lost and is 591.45% of what we expected (an increase of 491%) in deaths from Unknown Causes among men aged 60-64 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):

825 ÷ 3,100,589 = 0.00027 (5-yr CDR)

492,464(2022 pop) X 0.00027 = 131 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

370 – 131 = 239 or 239 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

370 ÷ 131 = 2.7214 or an increase of 172%

for deaths from Unknown Causes among men aged 60-64 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

3,593,053 X 0.00012 = 420 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

1195 – 420 = 775 or 775 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

1,195 ÷ 420 = 2.6182 or an increase of 162%

in deaths from Unknown Causes among men aged 60-64 living in Ontario in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
