Abstract This article provides a description of the population model PopMod which is designed to simulate the health and mortality experience of an arbitrary population subjected to two interacting disease conditions as well as all other background causes of death and disability. Among population models with a longitudinal dimension PopMod is unique in modelling two interacting disease conditions among the life-table family of population models PopMod is unique in not assuming statistical independence of the diseases of interest as well as in modelling age and time independently. Like other multi-state models however PopMod takes account of competing risk among diseases and causes of .
