Population attributable fractions for continuously distributed exposures [PDF]
Epidemiologic Methods, 2020 Abstract When estimating population attributable fractions (PAF), it is common to partition a naturally continuous exposure into a categorical risk factor. While prior risk factor categorization can help estimation and interpretation, it can result in underestimation of the disease burden attributable to the exposure as well as biased
