Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from United States Life Tables, 1910: Prepared Under the Supervision of Prof. James W. Glover of the University of Michigan Sir: I transmit herewith a preliminary report on life tables. These life tables arc based upon the population of 1910 in the original registration states and selected states and the deaths occurring in 1909, 1910, and 1911. They may, therefore, be regarded as reflecting conditions as to mortality at the present time. Similar tables, exhibiting mortality conditions for the years 1890 and 1901, and the decennium 1901-1910, are being prepared for publication later. These tables, being based on the general unselected population, differ materially from tables derived from the experience of life insurance companies, because the latter are based on risks selected through medical examination and otherwise. General life tables have been published by England, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, and other European countries for many years, but this is the first publication devoted to life tables which has been prepared by the United States Government. These tables are intended primarily to be of service as a source of information to the public. They should be particularly useful to public health officials, students of vital statistics, physicians, sociologists, actuaries, statisticians, and others interested in the improvement of the public health of the Nation. Their uses for legal purposes, valuation of reversions, annuities, retirement funds, and old-age pensions, are also obvious. The tables were prepared in the division of vital statistics under the supervision of Prof. James W. Glover, of the University of Michigan, assisted by Miss Elbertie Foudray, special agent of the bureau. The bureau has also had the advice and cooperation of a special census committee representing the Actuarial Society of America, and composed of John K. Gore, chairman, Robert Henderson, Arthur Hunter, Emory McClintock, and Henry Moir. The tables have been prepared along lines meeting with the approval of this committee. Special credit for this work should be given to Dr. Cressy L. Wilbur, formerly chief statistician of the division of vital statistics, and now director of the division of vital statistics, New York state department of health. It was through his untiring efforts that the policy of constructing and publishing life tables was initiated and established in this bureau. The work was well advanced during his connection with the bureau and was continued by his successor, Richard C. Lappin, the present chief statistician of the division of vital statistics.
