On the Mortality among the Healthy Female Lives insured with the Scottish Equitable Life Assurance Society

Extract

As stated in the foregoing paper, the number of persons to whom the observations relate was 2,205, and the total years of life 30,521. The average time for which the lives were under observation was therefore 13·84 years. The number of deaths was 668; the number of discontinuances 730; and the number of existing 807. The experience may therefore be described as an unusually mature one. The numbers at risk and the deaths in each insurance year have been calculated separately for each age at entry; but, as the numbers at individual ages are small, it is probably not worth while to publish them. The following are the figures irrespective of the age at entry.
