Population-Attributable Risk Estimates for Campylobacter Infection, Australia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
Gillespie (1) questions whether we should have treated consumption of cooked chicken as a contributing factor in estimating population-attributable risk (PAR) for Campylobacter infection because it was not a significant risk factor (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.4, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.0–1.9, p = 0.06).

Attributable risk, population attributable risk, and population attributable fraction of death associated with hypertension in a biracial population. [PDF]

Circulation, 1975
In 1961, blood pressure was measured in the 40-69-year-old segment of the population of Evans County, Georgia. Mortality was monitored for up to ten years. The relationship found between hypertension and mortality is characterized in this report by four parameters: attributable risk, prevalence, population attributable risk, and population attributable
