The population attributable risk is defined as the proportion of cases in the total population that are attributable to the risk factor.

OBS

Domaine(s)
  • Épidémiologie
  • Collaboration avec Santé Canada
OBS

Le risque attribuable dans la population est calculé en soustrayant l'incidence chez les sujets non exposés de l'incidence dans la population totale.

Subject field(s)
  • Mental health and hygiene

  • Drugs and Drug Addiction
CONT

Prevention approaches mostly encountered in the literature have been categorized according to two definitional frameworks[; one] framework comprises : primary(prevent onset of a disease), secondary(reduce the incidence of a disease) and tertiary(reduce the impact of a persistent health issue) prevention, emphasizing a public health perspective. [The other] framework comprises three levels : universal(targeting a wide population), selective(targeting subpopulations) and indicated prevention(targeting at risk or vulnerable individuals).

  • Réadaptation (Médecine)
  • Drogues et toxicomanie

Record 4 2021-11-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Research
  • General Medicine, Hygiene and Health
DEF

A research... that examines longitudinal data obtained in the past to track the incidence of a particular disorder over time and its association with various risk factors.

OBS

[The historical prospective study] is distinct from prospective research generally, which begins with individuals who are apparently healthy in the present and moves forward to investigate whether a specific disorder will occur over time.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Recherche scientifique
  • Médecine générale, hygiène et santé
CONT

Une étude prospective historique a été réalisée auprès de 201 primipares ayant eu une épisiotomie au cours de leur premier accouchement. L'objectif de cette étude était d'évaluer le taux d'épisiotomies chez les femmes ayant un antécédent d'épisiotomie.

Record 5 2007-03-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Taxation
CONT

For reporting compliance, we [Canada Revenue Agency] focus on the small percentage of the population who pose the greatest risk to tax revenue since, in our judgement, incidence of non-compliance is relatively low, although in total it is financially significant.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fiscalité
CONT

Quant à l'établissement de rapport afférent à l'observation, nous nous [l'Agence du revenu du Canada] sommes penchés sur le faible pourcentage de la population qui présente le plus grand risque associé aux recettes fiscales; bien que, globalement, il y ait un impact sur le plan financier selon nous, l'incidence de l'inobservation est relativement faible.

Record 8 - external organization data 2000-03-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Toxicology
  • Environmental Studies and Analyses
  • Radiation Protection
  • Compartment - Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
CONT

The biological hazard or the harm induced by radiation is caused as a consequence of the ionization which they produce in the chemical constituents of the body tissues. To a large extent, the biological hazards from uranium intakes are increased probabilities of incidence of malignant diseases in the exposed populations, and an increased risk of passing on some genetic defects to their children or subsequent descendants by the exposed populations.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Toxicologie
  • Études et analyses environnementales
  • Radioprotection
  • Tiroir - Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire
CONT

Les risques biologiques ou les nuisances provoqués par les rayonnements sont dûs aux rayonnements ionisants qu'ils produisent dans les constituants chimiques des tissus de l'organisme. Les risques biologiques des apports d'uranium rendent de plus en plus probable, dans une large mesure, l'incidence des maladies malignes parmi les personnes exposées, et accroissent le risque que ces personnes communiquent certains défauts génétiques à leurs enfants ou à leurs descendants.

OBS

Les définitions des mots «danger» et «risque» décrivent deux aspects de la même réalité; la première met l'accent sur les propriétés intrinsèques de la substance ou du mélange considéré, et la seconde sur les conséquences effectives ou potentielles d'une activité faisant intervenir ladite substance ou ledit mélange.
