2022 Deaths – All Causes – Male – All Ages | Saskatchewan, Canada

2022 vs New Normal™ for men of all ages in Saskatchewan

1. 5,882 of 5,882 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 9% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 5,403 of 5,403 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 479 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 1,140 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 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 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, 5,882 of 601,221 men of all ages living in Saskatchewan died from All Causes.

5,882 ÷ 601,221 = 0.00978 (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 64,749 deaths from All Causes among 7,205,144 men of all ages living in Saskatchewan in the 14 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

64,749 ÷ 7,205,144 = 0.00899 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

601,221 X 0.00899 = 5,403 expected deaths

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

5,882 – 5,403 = 479

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

5,882 ÷ 5,403 = 1.0875

This reveals 479 lives lost and is 108.75% of what we expected (an increase of 9%) in deaths from All Causes among men of all ages 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):

35,051 ÷ 4,080,540 = 0.00859 (5-yr CDR)

601,221(2022 pop) X 0.00859 = 5,164 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

5,882 – 5,164 = 718 or 718 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

5,882 ÷ 5,164 = 1.1376 or an increase of 14%

for deaths from All Causes among men of all ages 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

4,681,761 X 0.00899 = 42,073 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

40933 – 42,073 = -1,140 or 1,140 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

40,933 ÷ 42,073 = 0.9718 or a decrease of 3%

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