1
High-risk groups were identified using exposure rate, incidence rate and population attributable fraction.
2
Population attributable fraction was calculated based on the assumption of total avoidance of smoking.
3
We propose the wider use of multivariable risk assessment approach as an alternative to population- attributable fraction methods.
4
Therefore, the attributable fraction of presumptive treatment avoided by systematic screening with ParacheckPf® was 47%.
5
The predominant epidemiologic measures of risk factor impact have been various concepts of the " attributable fraction."
6
Furthermore, non-malarial fevers appear to suppress low levels of parasitaemia resulting in biased estimates of the attributable fraction.
7
The attributable fraction of fever to malaria was 11% and 69%, respectively.
8
The population attributable fraction for sharing equipment was 58.5% for being Jingpo.
9
The population- attributable fraction due to diet was 0.16 in men and 0.09 in women.
10
We applied the incidence estimates and attributable fraction of risk factors to population estimates for 2010 of each Indian state.
11
Statistical analysis: We performed two-proportion Z and p; Risk Ratio and confidence interval 95% and attributable fraction exposed.
12
No other factor significantly modified the risks related to these time-varying risk factors; their population- attributable fraction was 86%.
13
We demonstrate how this approach can estimate the population burden of risk factors and illustrate its advantages over often-used population- attributable fraction methods.
14
Second, often-used attributable fraction formulas were used to combine summary measures of smoking prevalence with relative risks of death for select diseases.
15
In areas of very high transmission such estimates of the attributable fraction may be imprecise because very few individuals are without parasites.
16
The population- attributable fraction of AF resulting from having a nonoptimal risk profile was estimated separately for black and white men and women.
