Population Attributable Risk in Alzheimer and Parkinson Diseases. [PDF]

Neurol Genet
Emerging evidence suggests that the genetic architecture of Alzheimer disease (AD) and Parkinson disease (PD) risk varies across ancestries. This study seeks to explore distinct and universal genetic targets across individuals of Latino, African/African-admixed, East Asian, and European populations by implementing population attributable risk (PAR ...

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

Modifiable lifestyle factors have a larger contribution to colorectal neoplasms than family history

BMC Cancer, 2022
Background  Screening recommendations for colorectal cancer (CRC) are mainly based on family history rather than lifestyle risk factors. We aimed to assess and compare risk factors for colorectal neoplasm (CRN) and evaluate trends in neoplasm detection ...

The effect of risk factor misclassification on the partial population attributable risk. [PDF]

Stat Med, 2018
The partial population attributable risk (pPAR) is used to quantify the population‐level impact of preventive interventions in a multifactorial disease setting. In this paper, we consider the effect of nondifferential risk factor misclassification on the direction and magnitude of bias of pPAR estimands and related quantities. We found that the bias in

Population Attributable Risks of Esophageal and Gastric Cancers [PDF]

JNCI Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 2003
Several risk factors have been identified for esophageal adenocarcinoma, gastric cardia adenocarcinoma, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and noncardia gastric adenocarcinoma, but no study has comprehensively examined their contributions to the cancer burden in the general population.
