Objective:
to re-evaluate the meaning of attributable risk assessing the event advancement as an individual effect indicator.
Design:
mortality descriptive study of cardiovascular and respiratory causes in two populations exposed to different emission levels from a coal-fired power plant.
Setting And Participants:
people residing in 23 Italian municipalities (100,725 subjects) aged 35-84 years observed from 2000 to 2007.
Main Outcome Measures:
age-specific death rates and death anticipation by age.
Results:
a higher mortality among the exposed corresponds to a median death anticipation from 25 to 20 months among people aged 65-74 and of 6 months for people aged 75-84.
Conclusion:
for the set of the considered causes of death, a higher mortality among the exposed corresponds to a median anticipation of all deaths occurred among exposed people.

02:22Overview of Advanced Functional Groups
Functional groups are groups of atoms with specific chemical properties that occur within organic molecules and are sometimes denoted as “R”. Functional groups can “functionalize” a compound by enabling it to adopt different physical and chemical properties.
