Metabolic Health as Business Strategy: From GLP-1s to Portfolio Value
Metabolic health is rapidly shaping health outcomes and risk with implications across
underwriting, pricing, claims, and in-force management. This session focuses on what
leaders can act on today, how to identify the risk signals that matter, how to distinguish
short-term improvements from lasting change, and how to turn emerging interventions — like
GLP-1s, nutrition, and behavior change — into measurable portfolio value. Panelists will
examine how engagement strategies and sustained health improvement can translate into
measurable, long-term value across insurance portfolios.

pandemic baselines, with lingering excess persisting into 2025. In this session, we’ll dive
boots-first into the data—reviewing SOA Research Institute individual life insured mortality
experience studies, socioeconomic differentials driving disparities, and population mortality
overview trends. Leveraging Insurance Collaboration to Save Lives' (ICSL) proprietary
translational research insights, we’ll unpack evidence-based drivers of these shifts,
including residual pandemic effects and broader trends. Attendees will gain practical, data-
driven strategies to enhance underwriting accuracy, manage ongoing risks, and advance

strengthening portfolios and healthier communities.
