Disease No disease
Exposed a b
Unexposed c d
Estimating risk - cohort
Disease No disease Risk/Rate
Exposed a b a/(a+b)
Unexposed c d c/(c+d)
Table 9-1. Design of a Cohort Study
Table 11-9. Calculating in a Cohort Study
•  Risk ratio = risk (exposed) / risk (unexposed)
•  Rate ratio = rate (exposed) / rate (unexposed)
Estimating risk - cohort
Diarrhea No diarrhea Total Risk (attack rate)
Ate egg salad 45 9 54 45/54 (83%)
Did not eat egg salad 18 41 60 18/60 (30%)
•  Risk ratio = risk (exposed) / risk (unexposed)
= 83% / 30%
= 2.8
•  Risk difference = 83% - 30% = 53%
Estimating “risk” – case-control
•  Can’t estimate risk directly
– Have cases and controls
– Can vary the number of controls
– Estimate risk using odds
Estimating risk – case-control
Disease No disease
Exposed a b
Unexposed c d
Table 10-1. Design of a Case-control Study
Table 11-5. Risk Calculations in a Cohort Study
•  Odds = probability/(1-probability)
•  Odds ratio = odds exposure (diseased) / odds
exposure (non-diseased)
•  Odds ratio = (a/c)/(b/d)
= (ad)/(bc)
Estimating risk
Doll and Hill, 1950
•  Odds of exposure (case) = 688/21
•  Odds of exposure (control) = 650/59
•  Odds ratio = (ad)/(bc)=~3.0
Case Control Total
Smoker 688 650 1338
Non-smoker 21 59 80
Total 709 709 1418
Smoking and carcinoma of the lung. Br Med J. 1950; 2(4682): 739–748
Summary
•  Odds ratio generally approximates risk
ratio if the disease is “rare”
•  If RR, OR = 1 then no association
•  If RR, OR > 1 then positive association
•  If RR, OR < 1 then negative association
Potential for prevention
•  Attributable risk
•  Population attributable risk
Background risk
Risk due to exposure
Attributable risk
•  In the exposed, how much of the disease
is due to exposure?
•  Attributable risk =
(Incidence exposed) – (Incidence unexposed)
Incidence exposed
Population attributable risk
•  In the total population, how much disease
is due to exposure?
•  Population attributable risk =
(Incidence total popn)-(Incidence non-exposed)
Incidence total popn
Example
JAMA. 2004;291(10):1238-45.
Readings
•  Chapters 11&12
•  Chapter 13 (review)
