population attributable fraction (paf)

How is PAF Calculated?

PAF can be calculated using various methods, depending on the available data and the study design. The most common formula is:
PAF = P(E) * (RR - 1) / [P(E) * (RR - 1) + 1]
Where:
P(E) is the prevalence of the exposure in the population.
RR is the relative risk of the disease associated with the exposure.
