Description: Mortality improvement assumptions have typically been focused on all-cause mortality improvement. However, as evidenced in recent years, the cause of death has a large impact on mortality improvement. Join our panel of experts as they discuss mortality improvement through the lens of different causes of death. This discussion will include a review of the historical cause specific mortality improvement trends seen in the U.S. population and how this relates to the insured population. The panelists will then discuss how to use these trends to inform future mortality improvement assumptions. Key learning objectives include: - Identifying the trends in mortality improvement for select causes of death - Understanding how to adapt these for an insured population - Applying these learnings to mortality improvement assumptions
