We read with interest the article by Frohlich and Potvin, which argues very eloquently against populations-at-risk interventions and proposes that population approaches should be complemented with interventions in vulnerable groups.1 These groups are characterized by shared social conditions, such as lack of resources, which are fundamental causes of disease that place them at increased risk of risks.2 Although this notion is certainly valid as an overall public health framework, the limitations of such a strategy must also be recognized. Here we present 3 epidemiological scenarios to illustrate that the population-at-risk approach should not be neglected as a crucial intervention strategy to advance population health and reduce health disparities
