In this paper we summarize recent work on Cepheid stars by Chiosi et al (1992a), who calculated large grids of models at varying mass, effective temperature, mass-luminosity (ML) relation or equivalently underlying evolutionary scheme for intermediate mass stars, i.e. classical models, models with mild core overshoot, and models with large core overshoot, and finally initial chemical composition. The chemical parameters bracket the abundances of the Cepheid stars in the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds. First, we present the theoretical results limited to the analytical fits of the fundamental period-mass-radius (PMR) relation and the blue and red edges of the instability strip for the fundamental mode and first overtone. Second, we discuss the data converted to magnitudes and colours of the BVRcIc passbands with particular attention to the period-luminosity-colour (PLC) and period-luminosity (PL) relations. Finally, we briefly summarize three studies based on these models, which aimed to explain the shape and width of the observed instability strip (Chiosi et al 1992b), and the main reason for the mass discrepancy of the Cepheid stars (Chiosi et al 1992c) by means of the mass equivalency (ME) method applied to clusters of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Because the ME method turned out to be sensitive to the distance modulus, the dependence of this on the metallicity has been the subject of the last study by Bertelli et al(1992).
