Why should population attributable fractions be periodically recalculated? An example from cardiovascular risk estimation in southern Europe.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To determine the effect of age and study period on coronary heart disease (CHD) risk attributable to cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS:A cohort of cardiovascular disease (CVD)-free randomly participants from Girona (Spain) aged 35-74 years recruited in 1995 and 2000 and followed for an average of 6.9 years. A survey conducted in the same area in 2005 was also used for the analysis. Smoking, hypertension, diabetes, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, total cholesterol > or = 240 mg/dl, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol > or = 160 mg/dl, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol <40 mg/dl were the risk factors considered. The composite end-point included myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, and CHD death. RESULTS:LDL cholesterol had the highest potential for CHD prevention between 35 and 74 years [42% (95% Confidence Interval: 23,58)]. The age-stratified analysis showed that the population attributable risk (PAF) for smoking was 64% (30,80) in subjects < 55 years; for those > or = 55 years, the PAF for hypertension was 34% (1,61). The decrease observed between 1995 and 2005 in the population's mean LDL cholesterol level reduced that PAF in all age groups. CONCLUSION:Overall, LDL cholesterol levels had the highest potential for CHD prevention. Periodic PAF recalculation in different age groups may be required to adequately monitor population trends.
