Estimating risk factor attributable burden – challenges and potential solutions when using the comparative risk assessment methodology

fractions (PAF s) quantifying the proportion of disease burden attributable to exposure. Among many available formulae for PAF s, it is important to use the one that allows consistency between definitions, ...

QALY losses for chronic diseases and its social distribution in the general population: results from the Belgian Health Interview Survey

assessed by estimating population attributable fractions (PAF). Results. For both years, the largest QALY losses were observed in dorsopathies, arthropathies, hypertension/high cholesterol, and genitourinary ...

Variation in smoking attributable all-cause mortality across municipalities in Belgium, 2018: application of a Bayesian approach for small area estimations

Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA). Deviance Information Criterion (DIC) and Conditional Predictive Ordinate (CPO) were computed to assess model fit. Population attributable fractions (PAF) were ...

Monitoring health inequalities when the socio-economic composition changes: are the slope and relative indices of inequality appropriate? Results of a simulation study

(PAF). METHODS: We simulated 632 distributions of 4 educational levels (EL s) by varying the share (p1 to p4) of each EL, with constant mortality rates (MR) and calculated the corresponding RII, SII and ...

Trends in educational inequalities in premature mortality in Belgium between the 1990s and the 2000s: the contribution of specific causes of deaths.

s) and population attributable fractions (PAF s). We analysed changes in educational inequalities between the 1990s and the 2000s, and decomposed the PAF into the main causes of death. RESULTS: ...

Educational inequalities in premature mortality by region in the Belgian population in the 2000s

rate differences (RD), rate ratios (RR), and population attributable fractions (PAF) were computed in the 3 regions of Belgium and compared with pairwise regional ratios. The global PAF s were also ...
