摘要：

Classification of exposure into two levels-one consisting exclusively of unexposed individuals and the other consisting of exposed and perhaps unexposed ones-yields an unbiased estimate of attributable risk when misclassification is nondifferential. The authors advocate, therefore, the use of a broad definition of exposure when estimating attributable risk. Based on this idea, they justify a simple and robust method for estimating the overall attributable risk from several exposures that is based on a division of subjects into two groups, a baseline consisting of those unexposed to all exposures and everyone else.
