Abstract
Abstract The paper deals chiefly with those mortality statistics, compiled from the experience of insured persons, that have been used as a guide in life insurance underwriting. Properly interpreted, these statistics shed considerable light on the factors influencing human longevity. The use made of other mortality statistics in the underwriting of life insurance risks is also indicated.
