Attributable risk of suicide for populations in Australia
Frontiers in PsychiatryObjectiveEach year approximately 3,000 Australians die by suicide. We estimated the population attributable risk for identified target populations to provide evidence on how much of the overall burden of suicide in the Australian population is ...

Preventable cancer cases and deaths attributable to tobacco smoking in Korea from 2015 to 2030 [PDF]
Epidemiology and HealthOBJECTIVES Tobacco smoking is a major public health concern worldwide. This study aimed to assess its impact on cancer incidence and mortality by estimating the population attributable fraction (PAF) in the Korean population for 2015 and 2020 and by ...

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 ...

The Population Attributable Fraction of Asthma Among Canadian Children [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Public Health, 2011 We calculated the population attributable fraction (PAF) of Canadian childhood asthma due to modifiable environmental exposures, in order to estimate their relative contributions to asthma development based on the current literature.We conducted a systematic review to determine Canadian childhood asthma incidence, Canadian prevalence of exposure to ...

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, 2015 Objective: To estimate the numbers and proportions of cancers occurring in Australia in 2010 attributable to modifiable causal factors. Methods: We estimated the population attributable fraction (PAF) of cancers associated with exposure to 13 causal ...

Decomposition of the population attributable fraction for two exposures
Annals of Epidemiology, 2018 The population attributable fraction (AF) is frequently used to quantify disease burden attributable to exposures. AF is interpreted as the fractional reduction of disease events that would occur if exposures were eliminated. This article aims to provide a decomposition of the overall AF for two exposures into AFs for each of two exposures and AF for ...

Population Attributable Fraction as a Measure of Heritability in Dichotomous Twin Data [PDF]
Communications in Statistics - Simulation and Computation, 2012 In many genetic analyses of dichotomous twin data odds ratios have been used to test hypotheses on heritability and shared common environment effects of a given disease (Lichtenstein et. al., 2000, Ahlbom et. al., 1997, Ramakrishnan, et. al., 1992, 1996). However, estimates of these two effects have not been dealt with in the literature.
