Population Attributable Risk for Occupational Gancer in Italy

International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2005
Population studies estimating the proportion of cancer attributable to occupation (PAR) in different geographical areas in Italy are reviewed. Studies using lists of industrial activities and occupations which are known or suspected to entail exposure to lung carcinogens gave lung cancer PARs between 5% and 36%.

Physical Activity, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, and Population-Attributable Risk

Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 2021
To determine population-attributable risk (PAR) and exposure impact number (EIN) for mortality associated with impaired cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), physical inactivity, and other risk markers among veteran subjects.The sample included 5890 male subjects (mean age 58±15) who underwent a maximal exercise test for clinical reasons between January 1 ...

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 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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.
