Projections of the incidence and prevalence of disease are important for public health planning. This paper describes methods for projecting the incidence and prevalence of a chronic disease in ageing populations. The approach uses age-speciΓΏc disease incidence rates together with assumptions about

In this paper, the population attributable fraction is studied using the potential responses framework of Rubin's causal model. This framework facilitates de"nition of a general measure of population attributable e!ect which can accommodate many-valued and multivariate exposures as well as many-valu
## Abstract In this study of a cohort of 33 young and middleβage adults (19β59 years) we report simultaneous measurements of normal ageβrelated changes in the caudate nuclei volume, diffusion tensor metrics, and __T__~2~ relaxation time. Both the absolute caudate volume and its ratio relative to th
A model of the course of a chronic disease was formulated. The model implies that among patients suffering from a chronic disease a symptom or sign relevant to the prognosis will be present more frequently the earlier it occurs in the natural course of the disease. Utilizing this principle a method
