Medical Statistics - Part 2: Calculating Relative Risk

In general, the relative risk is calculated by dividing the risk of two different groups. The risk of the group with the particular characteristic is usually presented as the numerator of a fraction. This group is called the exposed group. The relative risk is calculated as the risk of disease in an exposed group divided by the risk of disease in a nonexposed group.
