In general, underwriting involves the assessment of risks. Insurance companies have "underwriting guidelines" that define the metes and bounds of the risks they are willing to accept. Those metes and bounds are defined, in turn, by the type of insurance that the insurer issues. That is, the underwriting considerations for a life insurance company involve factors such as age and health, whereas underwriting considerations for an insurer that issues automobile physical damage coverage involves considerations such as make and model of the auto, where the auto is principally kept, number of miles driven, and driving history. The totality of the underwriting factors, in part, determine the premium that the insurer will charge for the insurance.
