Where PAF is the population attributable fraction (burden attributable to risk factor), RR(×) is the RR at exposure level ×, P1(×) is the (measured or estimated) population distribution of exposure, P2(×) is the counterfactual distribution of exposure (ie, the theoretical-minimum-risk exposure distribution), and m the maxi mum exposure level.4
