Cumulative Risk and Population Attributable Fraction in Prevention

Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology, 2003
Compares the use of relative risk versus population attributable fraction in determining the target population for multirisk prevention programs in psychology. Results show that relative risk generally increases as a function of cumulative risk. Guided by this measure, prevention programs should target populations with the largest cumulative risk ...

Population attributable risk: implications of physical activity dose

Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 2001
The purpose of this study is to describe the application of population attributable risk estimates in relation to the dose-related benefits or risks of physical activity.Assumptions and limitations of population attributable risk calculations and interpretations are reviewed and evaluated in the context of physical activity dose.

Population attributable risk for endometrial cancer in Northern Italy

European Journal of Cancer and Clinical Oncology, 1989
The population attributable risk for endometrial cancer has been estimated in relation to its four major risk factors (overweight, estrogen replacement therapy, diabetes and hypertension) using data on 528 cases and 1626 controls collected within the framework of a hospital-based case-control study conducted since 1981 in the greater Milan area ...

Population Attributable Risk for Pancreatic Cancer in Northern Italy

Pancreas, 2015
To provide data on the impact of known risk factors on pancreatic cancer burden, we estimated the population attributable risks (PARs) in the Italian population.Data were derived from a case-control study conducted in Northern Italy between 1991 and 2008, including 326 case patients with incident pancreatic cancer and 652 hospital control subjects.We ...

Local estimates of population attributable risk

Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, 2010
To investigate properties of population attributable risk (PAR) estimates, when its components come from different sources. Examples include situations where one requires local estimates of PAR for a study subset (e.g., in states or counties within a national study) or if one wishes to apply the findings of an epidemiologic study to another population ...

Using population attributable risk to understand geographic disease clusters

Health & Place, 2009
This paper describes the use of population attributable risk percent (PAR%) in the study of morbidity and mortality clusters, and in particular, shows how this method of risk characterization can usefully distinguish between multiple geographic clusters of potential interest.

ESTIMATING THE POPULATION ATTRIBUTABLE RISK FOR MULTIPLE RISK FACTORS USING CASE-CONTROL DATA

American Journal of Epidemiology, 1985
A straightforward and unified approach is presented for the calculation of the population attributable risk per cent (etiologic fraction) in the general multivariate setting, with emphasis on using data from case-control studies. The summary attributable risk for multiple factors can be estimated, with or without adjustment for other (confounding) risk
