Population Attributable Fraction

Population Attributable Fraction is a measure in epidemiology that quantifies the proportional reduction in disease burden within a population that would occur if exposure to a specific risk factor were eliminated, distinguishing it from other attributable measures by incorporating both the strength of the association between the risk factor and the outcome and the prevalence of the risk factor in the population.
