What Does AR Stand For?
AR stands for Attributive Risk
Attributive Risk (AR) refers to the portion of an incidence of a disease or health outcome that can be attributed to a specific risk factor, typically expressed as a percentage or proportion. By quantifying the impact of particular exposures, AR helps in understanding the contribution of those factors to overall disease burden, aiding in public health decision-making, resource allocation, and preventive strategies.
