  • Some Remarks on the Mortality among Persons with Consumptive Family History

  • Harald Westergaard
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:

  • One of the most interesting questions in mortality statistics is that of hereditary influences, but very little light has hitherto been thrown on this subject. What effect will the good or bad health of the present generation have on that of the future one? In which way will nature eliminate the fatal germs of a family disposition? Will they disappear through a gradual dying out of the persons with such a disposition, or will they in the course of time grow less dangerous till at last they have lost entirely their original character? All these questions have hitherto been left almost unanswered in spite of the great scientific and economic interest attached to them.

  • On a Mode of tabulating the facts, for the purpose of ascertaining the Numbers exposed to Risk, and calculating the Rate of Mortality experienced by Assurance Companies

  • James Meikle
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    18 August 2016, pp. 229-249

  • As there is a prospect of the Scottish Insurance Companies again collecting the statistics of their mortality experience, it is desirable to consider anew the mode in which the facts should be tabulated, in order to ascertain the rate of mortality experienced among assured lives. The previous collection was drawn from theexperience of 10 offices, and consisted of the total lives assured from the beginning of the several offices, brought down to 31 December 1863. Thirty years having elapsed, it is proposed to begin with the facts then existing—tabulating the deaths arising among these; and also to tabulate new assurances, dealing with them separately. It is proposed also to discuss whole-life assurances and endowment assurances. It is also proposed to collect the experience of male and female annuitants. With so large an undertaking in prospect, it is expedient to re-consider the modes previously adopted, and in some detail to state the manner in which these experiences should be now collected.
