Population Attributable Risk Calculator

Other languages 日本語 | English

Add exposure prevalence to attributable risk so you can read the likely burden at the population level, not only the exposed-versus-unexposed gap.

How to use

  1. Choose whether you want to start from exposed/unexposed risk or a direct attributable risk value.
  2. Enter exposure prevalence and decimal settings.
  3. Read attributable risk first, then population attributable risk as the population-level burden estimate.

Exposure prevalence to population burden

The share URL stores only mode and decimal settings.

Use exposure prevalence with either exposed and unexposed risk or a direct attributable risk to estimate population attributable risk.

Where this fits

Attributable risk focuses on the exposed-versus-unexposed gap itself. Risk difference is the simpler signed absolute gap. This page adds exposure prevalence so you can explain likely burden in the whole population.

FAQ

What does this page calculate?

It estimates population attributable risk from exposure prevalence together with attributable risk, or from exposed and unexposed risk directly.

How is population attributable risk defined here?

This page uses exposure prevalence multiplied by attributable risk. In rates mode, attributable risk is exposed risk minus unexposed risk.

How is this different from the attributable risk page?

The attributable risk page focuses on the exposed-versus-unexposed gap itself. This page adds exposure prevalence so you can read the expected burden at the population level.
