INTRODUCTION: Population attributable fraction (PAF) is an important public health parameter that is familiar to epidemiologists. The calculation of PAF is frequently based on the relative risk (RR) of a risk factor for a certain disease and the prevalence of exposure to the risk factor in the total population (Pe). We introduce here the method for making a nomogram linking PAF to RR and Pe. The nomogram will be very handy for public health professionals in estimating PAF quickly and accurately when information on RR and Pe is available.
