2022 Deaths – All Causes – Female – Ages 60-64 | Saskatchewan, Canada

2022 vs New Normal™ for women aged 60-64 in Saskatchewan

1. 283 of 283 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 13% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 251 of 251 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 32 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 21 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 13% 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 aged 60-64 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, 283 of 37,216 women aged 60-64 living in Saskatchewan died from All Causes.

283 ÷ 37,216 = 0.00760 (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 2,342 deaths from All Causes among 347,027 women aged 60-64 living in Saskatchewan in the 14 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

2,342 ÷ 347,027 = 0.00675 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

37,216 X 0.00675 = 251 expected deaths

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

283 – 251 = 32

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

283 ÷ 251 = 1.1251

This reveals 32 lives lost and is 112.51% of what we expected (an increase of 13%) in deaths from All Causes among women aged 60-64 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):

1,618 ÷ 247,540 = 0.00654 (5-yr CDR)

37,216(2022 pop) X 0.00654 = 243 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

283 – 243 = 40 or 40 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

283 ÷ 243 = 1.1616 or an increase of 16%

for deaths from All Causes among women aged 60-64 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

284,756 X 0.00675 = 1,922 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

1901 – 1,922 = -21 or 21 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

1,901 ÷ 1,922 = 0.9877 or a decrease of 1%

in deaths from All Causes among women aged 60-64 living in Saskatchewan in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
