[Attributable risk: its forms, uses and interpretation].

The concept of Attributable Risk, described for the first time more than three decades ago, is rarely used in the analysis and interpretation of epidemiologic studies, despite its interest and importance in methodologic developments of the last years. This paper describes the different forms of Attributable Risk, their applications, and the limitations for their use. The possible reasons that could explain why its use has been set aside by modern academic epidemiology are also discussed.

[Spanish version of the epidemiologic dictionary of J. M. Last].

We comment briefly on the original edition of Last's dictionary of epidemiology and we make a detailed criticism of the translated version of the dictionary. We show several general problems of the spanish version and specifically discuss four epidemiology concepts (power, verosimility, child mortality and odds ratio) in which the definitions of the translated version are particularly confusing.
