Mortality Statistics of Insured Wage-Earners and Their Families: Experience of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, Industrial Department, 1911 to ... United States and Canada (Classic Reprint)
(Excerpt from Mortality Statistics of Insured Wage-Earners...)
Excerpt from Mortality Statistics of Insured Wage-Earners and Their Families: Experience of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, Industrial Department, 1911 to 1916, in the United States and Canada It has been one of the major activities of the Statistical Bureau of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company to compile the medical statistics of mortality among policyholders of the Industrial Department. After seven years' work, data are available in considerable detail for the many millions of policyholders who constitute its membership. In fact, nearly fifty million years of life and more than 635,000 deaths are represented in the period 1911 to 1916 covered in this report. The volume is an analysis of this material and is submitted as a contribution by the Company to the public health movement in the United States and Canada. Facts herein compiled have already had wide public uses. From time to time, reports have been issued in scientific and medical journals on various diseases and conditions. A large part of the whole field of mortality statistics has been considered and a mass of important scientific information has been put into circulation. The completeness and accuracy of the data have commended the studies to physicians and others who are guided in their work by medical statistics. The present volume is, however, more than a compilation of the papers and reports which have appeared in recent years. The previous discussions have been much amplified and much new information has been added. The report is, in fact, a comprehensive treatment of the entire field of mortality as related to wage earners and their families. This work should serve as a supplement to general population mortality statistics as published by the Bureau of the Census and by the several State and municipal registration offices. Large areas of the country still outside the Registration Area of the United States are included in the insurance field and for these sections there are as yet no authentic compilations of mortality statistics. This report also contrasts the mortality experience of wage earners and of the general population. The medical profession especially will profit from the study of the individual diseases with their detail of death rates by color, sex and age period. In some cases, the figures will suggest new lines of medical research. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Louis Israel Dublin
Edit ProfileEducation
Brought to the United States, 1886. Bachelor of Science, College City of New York, 1901. Doctor of Philosophy, Columbia, 1904.
Career
As vice president and statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, he promoted progressive and socially useful insurance underwriting policies. As a scholar, Dublin was an important figure in the establishment of demography as a social-scientific discipline in the United States during the 1920s and 1930s. Dublin was interested in eugenics but as a Jew of recent immigrant extraction criticized eugenicists for equating biological superiority with Nordic origins.
Dublin obtained his bachelor"s in 1901 at City College of New New York
Dublin taught at Yale as a lecturer in vital statistics, and in 1924 served as president of the American Statistical Association. He died in Winter Park, Orange County, Florida at the age of 86 While serving as a vice president at Met Life Insurance and as a statistician Dublin developed a height for weight table based on longevity of life insurance holders in the early 1940s.
These tables would later develop into the developed by University of Minnesota"s pioneering cholesterol and heart disease physiology researcher Ancel Keys in 1972. Keys intended the BMI to be used only for the study of groups and not to be applied to individuals.
The index is statistically very limited in usefulness as covered a very limited demographic of people who were able to afford life insurance and who were mostly white.
