Summary exposure value (SEV) - a measure of a population's exposure to a risk factor that considers the extent of exposure by risk level and the severity of that risk's contribution to disease burden. SEV takes the value zero when no excess risk for a population exists and the value one when the population is at the highest level of risk; we report SEV on a scale from 0% to 100% to emphasize that it is risk-weighted prevalence.
