Scope

What is the incidence of restricted activity days (RADs) in the general population?

Definition

Rate (age, sex ratio) Context (population size studied, location, date data taken, end-point measured) Definition of end-point Reference
Austria: 2,597,300 total person-days per yr;
France: 3,221,200 person-days/yr;
Switzerland: 3,373,000 person-days/yr
Austria, France, Switzerland, RADs (doesn’t differentiate minor RADs), 1997 [1]
RAD
Estimated attributable proportion = 14.3%
Estimated number of attributable cases = 2 702 461
Turin, Genoa, Milan, Bologna, Florence, Rome, Naples and Palermo (Italy), 1994-1999, health effects as a result of PM10 - health outcomes attributable to air pollution (PM10 concentrations >30 μg/m3) [2]
Media:RRAD_frequency_distribution_Sweden.gif‎ n=4482, Sweden, RRAD Respiratory Related Activity Day = person is affected although not absent from work, as well as those when she is absent [3]
