Attribution is often measured using statistical methods that estimate the proportion of disease cases that can be attributed to a particular risk factor. Common measures include:
Attributable Risk (AR): The difference in the rate of a condition between an exposed population and an unexposed population. Population Attributable Fraction (PAF): The proportion of incidents in the population that can be attributed to the risk factor. Relative Risk (RR): The ratio of the probability of an event occurring in the exposed group versus a non-exposed group.
