relative risk (rr)

How is Relative Risk Calculated?

The calculation of RR involves comparing the incidence of the disease in the exposed group to the incidence in the unexposed group. Mathematically, it is expressed as:
\[ RR = \frac{Incidence \, in \, Exposed}{Incidence \, in \, Unexposed} \]
Where:
- Incidence in Exposed = Number of cases in exposed group / Total number of people in exposed group
- Incidence in Unexposed = Number of cases in unexposed group / Total number of people in unexposed group
