Attributable Risk Formula
The following formula can be used to calculate the attributable risk.
AR = I_e - I_u
- Where AR is the attributable risk
- Ie is the incidence rate in the exposed group
- Iu is the incidence rate in the non-exposed group
To calculate the attributable risk, subtract the incidence rate in the non-exposed group from the rate in the exposed group.
Attributable Risk Definition
Attributable risk is the difference between the incidence rate in an exposed group to a non-exposed group.
Attributable Risk Example
How to calculate attributable risk?
- First, determine the incidence rate in the exposed group.
Measure the incidence rate in the exposed group.
- Next, determine the incidence rate in the non-exposed group.
Measure the incidence rate in the non-exposed group.
- Finally, calculate the attributable risk.
Using the formula above, calculate the attributable risk.
