Epidemiologists use various measures to quantify risk, including:
Incidence Rate: The number of new cases of a disease in a specific population during a defined period. Prevalence: The total number of cases of a disease in a specific population at a given time. Relative Risk (RR): The ratio of the probability of an event occurring in an exposed group to the probability of the event in a non-exposed group. Odds Ratio (OR): The odds of an event occurring in an exposed group compared to the odds in a non-exposed group. Attributable Risk (AR): The difference in the risk of a disease between an exposed group and a non-exposed group.
