2022 Deaths – All Causes – Both Sexes – Ages 40-44 | Saskatchewan, Canada

2022 vs New Normal™ for people aged 40-44 in Saskatchewan

1. 139 of 139 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 99.99% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is down 9% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 152 of 152 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 13 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 44 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are down 9% 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 people aged 40-44 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, 139 of 81,301 people aged 40-44 living in Saskatchewan died from All Causes.

139 ÷ 81,301 = 0.00171 (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 1,987 deaths from All Causes among 1,063,988 people aged 40-44 living in Saskatchewan in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

1,987 ÷ 1,063,988 = 0.00187 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

81,301 X 0.00187 = 152 expected deaths

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

139 – 152 = -13

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

139 ÷ 152 = 0.9106

This reveals 13 lives saved and is 91.06% of what we expected (a decrease of 9%) in deaths from All Causes among people aged 40-44 living in Saskatchewan 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):

909 ÷ 503,215 = 0.00181 (5-yr CDR)

81,301(2022 pop) X 0.00181 = 147 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

139 – 147 = -8 or 8 lives saved

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

139 ÷ 147 = 0.9413 or a decrease of 6%

for deaths from All Causes among people aged 40-44 living in Saskatchewan 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

584,516 X 0.00187 = 1,092 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

1048 – 1,092 = -44 or 44 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

1,048 ÷ 1,092 = 0.9550 or a decrease of 5%

in deaths from All Causes among people aged 40-44 living in Saskatchewan in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
