可归因风险是一个重要的流行病学指标，并且可能比相对风险等其他指标与许多健康规划情况更相关。本文概述了估计可归因风险的典型流行病学数据的要求，并举例说明了一些常见类型的研究的计算。所选择的例子本身没有特殊意义，但代表了流行病学文献中报道的几个典型调查的主要发现。讨论了多项研究的估计值的组合以及对其他人群的外推。最后提出了可归因风险的概念，即风险因素的因果效应。
Attributable risk is an important epidemiological index, and may be more relevant to many health planning situations than other indices such as the relative risk. This paper outlines the requirements of typical epidemiological data to estimate attributable risks, and illustrates the calculations for some common types of research study. The examples chosen have no special significane per se, but represent the main findings of several typical investigations reported in the epidemiological literature. The combination of estimates from several studies and extrapolation to other populations are discussed. Finally the concept of attributable risk as the causal effect of a risk factor is presented.
