Diabetes Survey: Your Feedback is Key
The IFoA
Diabetes Working Party was formed with an overall aim of developing a
mortality table at a granular level for those with diabetes. Diabetes is a
leading global cause of morbidity and premature mortality and therefore
understanding this condition in terms of prevalence and mortality risk is
clearly significant for insurers and actuaries.
As part of this research, the Working Party would like to understand how
the industry currently underwrites applicants with diabetes in Asia. This will
help them to gain further understanding, expertise and insights, particularly
from those at the forefront of underwriting, product design and pricing.
If diabetes is relevant to your field, please could you or your
Underwriting Team, complete this 10-minute survey by 5
May. All data will be anonymised and not be shared with any other persons.
Any other feedback that may be relevant to this research is also welcomed.
