The multistate life tables have generated interest among researchers during the past two decades. One of the main reasons for such interest is the wide range of applications addressing real life problems. A simplified version of constructing multistate life tables is developed in this paper on the basis of a modified birth-death process approach. This approach remains simple even if the number of intercommunicating states increases. An estimation procedure is also discussed.
