The extrapolation of attributable risk to new populations

J H Ellenberg. Stat Med. 1988 Jun.

Abstract

I develop a method for extrapolation of attributable risk estimated from one population, to other populations with a different rate of risk factor exposure and/or rate of outcome. The method uses the relationship between attributable risk and the product moment correlation.
