A heuristic approach to the formulas for population attributable fraction [PDF]

Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, 2001
BACKGROUND As the definitional formula for population attributable fraction is not usually directly usable in applications, separate estimation formulas are required. However, most epidemiology textbooks limit their coverage to Levin's formula, based on the (dichotomous) distribution of the exposure of interest in ...
