Relationship between transition probabilities and prevalence data. The figure shows simulated age-specific transition probabilities between the states of being healthy, unhealthy, and dead for the cohorts born in 1935 and 1965 (depicted on the left side of the figure). The proportions of the unhealthy population for the birth cohorts 1935 and 1965 are calculated from these age-specific transition probabilities (depicted on the right side of the figure)
