2022 Deaths – All Causes – Male – All Ages | Prince Edward Island, Canada

2022 vs New Normal™ for men of all ages in Prince Edward Island

1. 869 of 869 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 19% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 731 of 731 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 138 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 375 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 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 men 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, 869 of 81,721 men of all ages living in Prince Edward Island died from All Causes.

869 ÷ 81,721 = 0.01063 (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 9,149 deaths from All Causes among 1,022,830 men of all ages living in Prince Edward Island in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

9,149 ÷ 1,022,830 = 0.00894 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

81,721 X 0.00894 = 731 expected deaths

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

869 – 731 = 138

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

869 ÷ 731 = 1.1875

This reveals 138 lives lost and is 118.75% of what we expected (an increase of 19%) in deaths from All Causes among men of all ages living in Prince Edward Island 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):

4,906 ÷ 522,032 = 0.00940 (5-yr CDR)

81,721(2022 pop) X 0.00940 = 768 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

869 – 768 = 101 or 101 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

869 ÷ 768 = 1.1303 or an increase of 13%

for deaths from All Causes among men of all ages living in Prince Edward Island 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

603,753 X 0.00894 = 5,400 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

5775 – 5,400 = 375 or 375 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

5,775 ÷ 5,400 = 1.0682 or an increase of 7%

in deaths from All Causes among men of all ages living in Prince Edward Island in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
