Causes of Death Shed Light on Mortality

Analyzing insured mortality by cause of death (COD) often provides insights that a typical actual-to-expected study may not reveal. In Part 1 of this series we utilized COD statistics from the proprietary Transamerica Experience Database (TED) to gain insight into mortality trends. This article continues our analysis and compares the TED insured population experience against the National Center for Health Statistics U.S. population experience. (The second in a 2-part series. For Part 1, see Causes of Death Study.)
