Attributable fraction and related measures: Conceptual relations in the counterfactual framework [PDF]

Journal of Causal Inference, 2023
The attributable fraction (population) has attracted much attention from a theoretical perspective and has been used extensively to assess the impact of potential health interventions. However, despite its extensive use, there is much confusion about its

Estimation and application of population attributable fraction in ecological studies [PDF]

Environmental Health, 2019
Estimation of population attributable fraction (PAF) requires unbiased relative risk (RR) by using either Levin’s or Miettinen’s formula, on which decision depends on the available exposure information in reference group, not the types of studies.

Pathway-specific population attributable fractions [PDF]

International Journal of Epidemiology, 2020
Abstract A population attributable fraction (PAF) represents the relative change in disease prevalence that one might expect if a particular exposure was absent from the population. Often, one might be interested in what percentage of this effect acts through particular pathways.

Population attributable fraction [PDF]

BMJ, 2018
Much statistical analysis seeks to identify associations between exposures and outcomes. The population attributable fraction (PAF) is an epidemiologic measure widely used to assess the public health impact of exposures in populations. PAF is defined as the fraction of all cases of a particular disease or other adverse condition in a population that is
