Sometimes when no standard mortality table has been produced for female lives,
actuaries use the corresponding male table, but apply an “age rating” of 4 years (say),
ie they consider a female aged x to be equivalent to a male aged x-4 . Explain the
rationale underlying this approach.

Please Tutor.
 
It's a proxy. The age adjustment tends to be based on actual experience analysis looking at female lives compared to a standard male mortality table. It isn't a number that is plucked randomly out of the air.
 
I'll look it up on the solution guide on the answer bank,but I'd like to hear anyone's answer in this platform.
