The flow diagram shows the hypothetical cohort as it moves through each of the six health states with each cycle of the model. The straight arrows represent transitions to a new health state, while the cyclical arrows represent the cohort remaining in the same health state during the cycle. The model continues to cycle until the entire cohort has transitioned to a death state based on published life tables.
