TY - JOUR AU - Gasparrini, Antonio AU - Leone, Michela PY - 2014 DA - 2014/04/23 TI - Attributable risk from distributed lag models JO - BMC Medical Research Methodology SP - 55 VL - 14 IS - 1 AB - Measures of attributable risk are an integral part of epidemiological analyses, particularly when aimed at the planning and evaluation of public health interventions. However, the current definition of such measures does not consider any temporal relationships between exposure and risk. In this contribution, we propose extended definitions of attributable risk within the framework of distributed lag non-linear models, an approach recently proposed for modelling delayed associations in either linear or non-linear exposure-response associations.
