Adiposity and risk of prostate cancer death: a prospective analysis in UK Biobank and meta-analysis of published studies

BMC Medicine, 2022
Background The association of adiposity with prostate cancer specific mortality remains unclear. We examined how adiposity relates to fatal prostate cancer and described the cross-sectional associations of commonly used adiposity measurements with ...

Population-Attributable Risk Percentages for Racialized Risk Environments

American Journal of Public Health, 2016
Research about relationships between place characteristics and racial/ethnic inequities in health has largely ignored conceptual advances about race and place within the discipline of geography.Research has also almost exclusively quantified these relationships using effect estimates (e.g., odds ratios), statistics that fail to adequately capture the ...

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

The population-attributable fraction for time-dependent exposures using dynamic prediction and landmarking [PDF]

, 2019
The public health impact of a harmful exposure can be quantified by the population-attributable fraction (PAF). The PAF describes the attributable risk due to an exposure and is often interpreted as the proportion of preventable cases if the exposure ...

Population Attributable Risk of Renal Cell Cancer in Minnesota [PDF]

American Journal of Epidemiology, 1998
A population-based case-control study of renal cell cancer was conducted in Minnesota between 1988 and 1990. It included 690 histologically confirmed incident cases identified through the state cancer surveillance system, and 707 age and sex frequency-matched controls.
