Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abstract of the Proceedings of the Association of Life Insurance Medical Directors of America From the Twenty-Third to and Including the Twenty- fth Annual Meeting In reviewing the medical aspects of life insurance during the past year, the most important circumstance is that the Medico Actuarial Mortality Investigation is beginning to bear fruit. The first fasciculus which has been sent to all of the companies contains the new mortality table and new average tables Of weights for men and women. This average table of weights for men does not differ appreciably from the one prepared in 1897 for this Association by Dr. Geo. R. Shepherd except in the ages below 25. In these younger ages Dr. Shepherd did not have sufficient material, and he lumped them all together into one age-group, I 5 to 24. The result was that in the ages below 20, his weights were entirely too high. Also he was lack ing in data in the extremes of height. Taking it altogether, however, the new average table for men has added but little to our previous knowledge.
