Abstract
1.1. An earlier paper by the author has attempted to describe the theories of multi-state life tables and inhomogeneous Markov chains in their application to the study of morbidity as introduced by Pollard. It is the purpose of this paper to extend the model to describe the relationship between the incidence and prevalence of a disease. The implications of certain assumptions about the presence of mortality and of differentials in the level of mortality are also discussed.
