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 ...

Population attributable risk estimates for risk factors associated with hypertension in an Indian population

European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, 2012
Little evidence exists regarding the magnitude of contribution of risk factors associated with hypertension in India. Determination of potentially modifiable risk factors is necessary to focus prevention strategies.Age-matched case-control study.A total of 350 hypertensive cases and 350 controls of both sexes in the age group 20-65 years.

The population risk of fractures attributable to oral corticosteroids

Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety, 2005
AbstractPurposePrevious studies have indicated a relationship between oral corticosteroid use and the risk of fracture, although without population‐based comparators or exact dose information. The aim was to estimate the relative and population attributable risk (PAR) of admission for non‐traumatic fracture among users of corticosteroids.MethodsThe ...

The extrapolation of attributable risk to new populations

Statistics in Medicine, 1988
AbstractI develop a method for extrapolation of attributable risk estimated from one population, to other populations with a different rate of risk factor exposure and/or rate of outcome. The method uses the relationship between attributable risk and the product moment correlation.

Population attributable risk of risk factors for type 2 diabetes; Bayesian methods

Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome: Clinical Research & Reviews, 2019
Demonstrating the risk factors of diabetes can help to plan for prevention of this disease. This study aimed at quantification of the impact of physical activity, hypertension, general obesity, central obesity, high cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglyceride, smoking, hookah, drug use, alcohol consumption on the incidence of type 2 diabetes at a population ...
