relative risk (usually calculated in cohort studies)= Incidence in exposed gp/incidence in unexposed group
attributable risk = Incidence exposed -incidence in unexposed. useful to determine what will happen to population if the risk factor was removed. attributable risk and absolute risk is the same entity.
