• Product designs and sales trends by age
• Underwriting requirements at older ages
• Mortality assumptions at older ages including selection factors, mortality level, preferred discounts and mortality improvement
• Lapse assumptions
• Comparisons between fully underwritten life insurance and long-term care insurance
