What is the formula to calculate relative risk?

(a/a+b) / (c/c+d)

Incidence in non exposed / Incidence in exposed

Risk in exposed group / Risk in non-exposed group

Incidence in exposed / Incidence in non exposed (correct)

In the context of relative risk, what does a value of 1 indicate?

There is a positive association

There is no association between risk in exposed and non-exposed (correct)

Risk in exposed is greater than risk in non-exposed

Risk in exposed is less than risk in non-exposed

How is risk interpreted when relative risk (RR) is above 1?

Risk is decreased by (1-RR)X100%

Risk is halved

Risk remains the same

Risk is increased by (RR - 1)X100% (correct)

Why can't relative risk be calculated in a case-control study?
