Attributable fractions
Attributable fraction (AF) is an important concept in clinical and epidemiological studies. The concept has mainly been discussed in relation to case–control studies, cross-sectional studies, and follow-up studies of fixed length. Here, we propose and discuss several ways of defining and estimating AFs with right-censored survival data, and thus with varying lengths of follow-up. In particular,...
متن کاملAttributable fractions for sufficient cause interactions.
A number of results concerning attributable fractions for sufficient cause interactions are given. Results are given both for etiologic fractions (i.e. the proportion of the disease due to a particular sufficient cause) and for excess fractions (i.e. the proportion of disease that could be eliminated by removing a particular sufficient cause). Results are given both with and without assumptions...
متن کاملAdjusted population attributable fractions and preventable potential of risk factors for childhood obesity.
OBJECTIVE A number of individual risk factors for childhood obesity have been identified, but only some of these are amenable to prevention. To assess the amount of cases in a general population attributable to these risk factors, adjusted population-attributable fractions were estimated. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Obligatory school entry examination in 2001/2002 in six Bavarian ...
متن کاملPopulation Attributable Risk Fractions of Maternal Overweight and Obesity for Adverse Perinatal Outcomes
The objective of the current study was to determine the proportion of adverse perinatal outcomes that could be potentially prevented if maternal obesity were to be reduced or eliminated (population attributable risk fractions, PARF); and the number needed to treat (NNT) of overweight or obese women to prevent one case of adverse perinatal outcome. Data from the Atlee Perinatal Database on 66,68...
متن کاملAttributable Fractions of Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Diseases
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death in Japan. To reduce the threat of CVD, it is important to identify its major risk factors. The population attributable fraction (PAF) is calculated from the prevalence and relative risk of risk factors and can be used to estimate the burden of these factors with respect to CVD. We analyzed the findings from several prospective ...
